Started Coughing Blood After Intercourse. Have Swollen Gland On Neck. Caused Due To Pressure In Chest?

Thank you for the query.
Chest trauma needs to be really strong to cause bleeding from the lungs (it can happen due to car crash for example). So your boyfriend could not cause bleeding from your lungs.
The source of the blood in your cough can be throat or trachea as well. As you have also swollen lymph nodes and earache, you may suffer from throat, ear or tooth infection. Lungs issue is also possible, especially if you do smoke. Sometimes lungs cancer (strongly associated with smoking) and tuberculosis gives coughing with blood. Extremely rare reason of blood in the lungs is endometriosis.
I suggest you to visit your doctor and have physical examination. The doctor should take a look at your throat, tooth and ears. In case of any doubts, laryngologist consult is necessary.
If you do smoke, or there will be any signs of lungs issues (during physical examination), chest X-ray (or better chest CT) should be done.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.


However if you smoke, chest X-ray should be done even if all symptoms are gone.
Regards.
