Brief Answer:
Get done PFT and CT thorax.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
You are having persistent hemoptysis (blood in sputum) despite of completing Augmentin.
So get done
1. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out bronchitis.
2. CT thorax to rule out lung infection. Chest x can miss small opacities in lung which can be picked up CT thorax.
Please let me know if you have low grade fever or weight loss or anorexia.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
