I’m a little freaked out today. I’ve had a chronic cough for years, which we have always contributed to sinusitis and my chronic sinus infections. But today for the first time, I actually coughed up blood. I’m not sure if I should go to Urgent Care or if it is really that big of a deal. I may have to contact my doctor to see what she thinks. My chest hurts too, which concerns me even a little bit more. So needless to say, I’m not up for writing a long post today.

Have you checked for idiopathic chronic cough? I’m having tests done soon because I’ve had a chronic cough for years. Get well soon x

No, I don’t think I’ve been tested for that. I have been to a pulmonologist, but he just diagnosed me with asthma.

Keep us posted Maranda. Rest well and get well soon. I know that gargling with xylitol is a natural way of clearing up chest ailments
