My eleven years old daughter today morning when coughing let out a blood stain along with the mucus from her mouth. This happened only once. She coughed a few more times but there was no blood stain in her mucus. Is this o.k. What is the cause of this blood stain along with the mucus. Is there anything to be afraid? Please advice.
