What Causes Blood In Mouth , Temperature And Difficulty In Breathing?

hi, today after my two year old daughter woke up i found her mouth covered in dried blood also there was a big spot of blood on the sheet. I did not see her coughing, vommitting or spitting blood during the day. She seems generally alright with a mild cough at times. A day ago she had temperature, and heavy breathing, probably due to the temperature. At first i thought it could have been an ulcer in the mouth, but then i got anxious as what else it could be.

Hi welcome to the health care magic

Don't be panic about this condition...

Work up done as follow .....
-Auscultation
-x ray chest if needed
-Physical examination including liver, Spleen palpation
-CBC only if needed

This blood in sputum in your two year old child could be from viral or bacterial bronchitis or bronchiolitis like infective condition....

After her examination further work up can be decided... And accordingly prescription can be given... If needed she might kept under observation for few days in hospital

Consult nearby pediatrician for examination with keeping all this in mind

Take care
