Coughing

Any specific scene where there's, well, someone coughing.

Most likely a subtrope of "You don't look so well", so it could be a sick whumpee (even better if they are coughing blood), and they might or might not let others know about it.

It could also be an indication of a poisoned whumpee, or the pain manifestation of an injury.
