Hi.... I understand your concern. As the kid otherwise normal I feel that it could be because of intense cough that he has this blood streaks in the sputum.

But if there is any family history of tuberculosis contact then definitely this required for the evaluation.

I suggest that you get him checked by his pediatrician once.
