Kj is in hospital for the same thing. She coughed up blood for the first time. Luckily we were at clinic when it happened in the physio's room. She had just done a lung function test and had pushed herself too hard I think. The doc thinks it was a blood vessel in her lung that popped. she only coughed up 2 tsp.
The doc had her lungs xrayed at emergency. It came back ok. She went into hospital the same night we got back from clinic. She was also given a special acid type tablet that clots blood and she is on it 3 times a day for a week and is having a tune-up for 10 days as well. Touch wood it hasn't happened again.
The doc told her to stop using her hypertonic saline for the time being and to not go so hard on her physio.
I would suggest that you tell your parents and get to the docs as soon as possible. You don't want to let it get worse.
Kj doesnt like tune-ups either but if you get them done when needed then you will be healthy to go out and have heapz of fun <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
good luck and I hope it clears up soon!!
