Brief Answer:
Get done chest x ray.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum).
Common causes for hemoptysis are lung infection, bronchitis etc.
So better to get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
If chest x ray is normal and if you are smoker than get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis .
So please let me know
1. Are you smoker?
2. Do you have fever?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.

But better to get done chest x ray.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry bronchitis because you are young and non smoker.
But better to get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection.
Because cold some times can cause lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI).
If chest x ray is also normal than no need to worry much.
Possibility of friction bleeding is high if chest x ray is normal.
So first get done chest x ray to rule out lung infection.. Hope I have solved your query.
