Coughing is a hostile act and it definetley irritates the pool liner of your trachea and pharynx --> this leads to small blood vessel bursting and you cough up blood. THis i not much to worry in the order of but you should try to get the cough lower than control with a prescription. If you cough up JUST BLOOD, run to the ER ... we're talking close to more than 2 ounces.
