A member asked:

My sister is 15 and has been admitted to hospital several times as she has been coughing up blood and its quite a lot of it nobody seems to know why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not awful: She probably has what is termed mallory-weiss syndrome-this involves the breaking of blood vessels when coughing or vomiting--if they can't find a bleeding site, that is good news.
