For patients suffering from Whooping Cough, episodic coughing can get pretty serious and the stress from these episodes can cause their faces to turn red.
This is due to the increase in blood volume in the face when coughing, produced by increased abdominal pressure. If the disease is severe enough, patients may turn bluish as a sign of low oxygen in the blood.
