What Causes Coughing Up Blood Clots?
I fell down a flight of stairs a week ago. Now I am having facial pain and coughing up some blood clots. I had a cat scan and it showed my left cheek bone and around my left eye fractured. My nose and around my sinuses and teeth hurt. What is the answer?

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that as a result of injury to cheek bone it causes bleeding inside the sinus cavity. The clotted blood on the sinus cavity are gradually coming out now. This is the reason of clotted blood coming out of the cough.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
