HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the history of accident then coughing start with blood satin or actual hemoptysis then this would be matter of concern and better to get done the CT of chest to ruled out the internal trauma to lungs and trachea, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
