Question:
ALL NURSES, DOCTORS, & HEALTHCARE WORKERS!!coughing up blood, vomiting, stops breathing??
My mom has been coughing for 3 weeks now. The cough comes suddenly and when it comes she cant breathe. She coughs up mucus with blood in it and vomits every night...the cough lasts for about 5-8 minutes and is frequent...when it comes its like she is losing her voice she cant talk that well. She says that it is not painful and cough drops or honey doesn't help...any ideas as to what this could be and how we can help it until she sees a doctor? THAnKS!

is it contagious??
Answers:
this sounds like phneumonia or bronchittis ... if she is still coughing up mucus then im thinking more on the brochittis and YES its contagious ... and if its been 3 weeks it will sook be turning into phneumonia if its not already there ... and sometimes this shows without pain ... ...
again ... do not delay medical treatment any longer ... you do not need a respiratory outbreak in the middle of the summer months where ever you are ... if she is not concerned about herself she should at least be concerned about all those that she is coughing on or towards
