Hi,
Thanks for your query.
It seems that you have lower respiratory tract infection. New onset bloody sputum may be explained by the same. But since it is coming while brushing teeth, it may be dental bleed, please be sure. You are adequately taking antibiotic, cough expectorant and anti-allergic.
You can have a chest xray done. Take plenty of water. you may go for steam inhalation too..
Best wishes
