A member asked:

Six year old nine had tonsils and adenoids out 9 days ago. last night coughed about a tsp of mucus tinged with bright blood. scab coming off?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, likely scab: At 9 days, there should be adequate healing that one would not expect significant bleeding, but mucous with tinge of blood sounds does not sound worrisome. If this continues to recur, do a follow up exam with his surgeon.
