When was the last time you coughed up blood and it wasn't serious?

It's likely either TB or the op got her ass kicked and a rib cracked recently. Either way, the doctor's not going to do much and it's unlikely to become an emergency situation. If it's TB the op might waanna go to the clinic to get a prescription though. They won't issue antibiotics without one here, not sure about there.

80- By TB, do you mean tuberculosis?

Spitting up a bit of blood because of a burst small blood vessel from coughing fits isn't uncommon, and generally isn't serious - when one has a more chronic cough, has constitutional symptoms (i.e. Fever, night sweats, loss of appetite, loss of weight), or the blood is significant (i.e. More than a cup) then one would worry...

Oh, and for the record, TB often causes quite significant haemoptysis (coughing up blood), and that would be an emergency and may require admission to hospital, anti-tussives (cough-suppressants), and even blood transfusion; and coughing up blood after having been assaulted would imply bleeding into the airways and significant injury to lungs and blood vessels - a broken rib causes lung collapse and blood / air in the pleural space, not commonly coughing up blood... Both of the scenarios you gave are quite serious, but also quite unlikely in OPs case - my bet is on a Upper Resporatory Tract Infection or a Bronchitis

Cool story bro.

This is what happens when the generation that grew up with _Ferris Bueller_ becomes parents. *sigh*

Offspring before pets.
