Coughing some blood?!


Question:

Coughing some blood?

I've recently been diagnosed with pneumonia. Its no longer in the fever stages... but the coughing stage.

Now, I've been coughing constantly and it hurts like crazy. Been coughing for almost a week strait. (With plenty of brown/white mucus.)

Just a little while ago I noticed there was a little bit of blood in my snot.(First time) Why is that? Is it anything bad, or is it normal for all the coughing ive done?

Thanks


Answers:

If it is bright red blood it is probably just from all the excessive coughing that you have been doing chances are you have ruptured a tiny capillary in you throat or something however if it is in excess or dark red or even black call your Doctor b/c it could be way more serious.
