[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 88372, member: 1967"] I need some advice. My difficult child has a bad sinus infection and is coughing a lot. She went to the doctor on Tuesday and was given an antibiotic and a prescription decongestant. It doesn't seem to be getting better and she just called to say that she was leaving work early because she wasn't doing well. She also asked if she should be worried that she has been coughing up blood. She said that it has happened twice now. Does anyone know what would be causing this and can it wait until Monday when she can go back to the doctor? Or should we make a trip to the ER? I guess I should add that difficult child is a bit of a hypochondriac so it's always hard to judge just how bad this really is. I asked her the amount of blood and she said "chunks." Again, based on past experience that could mean microscopic traces of blood in the phlegm that she is coughing up. Any advice or experience with this would be much appreciated. Oh, by the way, she is also a smoker if that factors into the equation. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
