hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
blood in cough indicate that it could be related to surgery or tuberculosis.
just based on clinical history we cannot comment on nature or site of the lesion.
further investigation might be needed like chest x ray , ct scan and cytology might be necessary to identify exact problem.
consult your physician get required test and take medication accordingly
hope i answered your query
