Hi, there are many causes of cough with blood starting from simple pharyngitis to cancer. in your description you have chronic cold and sinusitis act as source of frequent throat infections. There may be pharyngeal inflammation due to cold . when you cough forcefully minute vessels May tear and blood stained mucus May may come out. if it occurs each time you cough it is significant to rule out many respiratory problems like TB, COPD , malignancy .... So approach the ENT Dr to rule out other possibilities if it recurrs. Take Care
