question: my husband has a horrible cough and cant get rid of it with any medicine that he takes. I woke up to him coughing so hard that he couldnt catch his breath. He gets runny noses and bloody noses and severe headaches while coughing. He doesnt cough anything up, but it cuases him to vomit sometimes. Today he actually spit up a little blood. what could this be? and what can he do to get better
