What a present to receive on your sweet sixteen!
I agree with Melissa...you should call your doctor because this is your first bleed. Call no matter what the amount of blood you coughed up was. You doctor is the best judge on what you should be doing to treat this situation because he knows your medical health best. You might have an infection brewing. Please do not delay and make the call.
Now on another note...I had my first bleed at 18 years old...about a 1/4 cup of bright red blood...and here I am 30 years later still going strong. So don't worry but do call your doctor so that you can stay on top of whatever is brewing.
Let us know how things are going for you.<img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">
