Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Irritation of throat while having hard cough can give some blood from the throat. But if you get it so often then better to get it examined by an ENT specialist. You should get a sputum AFB test and chest X ray to rule out tuberculosis also. Taking cough suppressants , antihistamines like cetirizine (zyrtec) , using throat lozenges and steam inhalation will be helpful.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
