Specializes in Pediatrics

Cough: Your cough is due to a post nasal drip. The mucus is eroding the little blood vessels in your nose causing the mucus to become blood tinged. Use salt water nose drops sprayed into your nose 4 times a day. Us a vaporizer when sleeping. Rub vapo rub on your chest to help your cough.
