A member asked:

Can coughing up blood be a just a psychological problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: Coughing up blood is never normal in a child. A child who coughs up blood needs a complete evaluation by a physician who commonly treats lung diseases. Referral to a lung specialist at a pediatric hospital is very appropriate. Coughing up blood should not be ignored.
