Hello,
Presence of blood with cough might be due to the strain and scratching of the throat while coughing but generally indicates that you need to be seen by a doctor and examined. This it to rule out important causes of the blood, like lung infection or other lung problems.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
