Immediate evaluation: Your mother needs immediate assessment as persistent coughing up of blood can be a sign of significant problems related to lungs, airways or blood vessels. Immediate evaluation is necessary to initiate appropriate therapies. Please do not delay any further and take her to her primary care physician or nearest emergency room.
