Brief Answer:
We have to rule out bronchitis.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, we should definitely rule out bronchitis because bronchitis can also cause coughing and hemoptysis (blood in sputum).
So you should get done Pulmonary Function Test (PFT).
May I know
1. Any smoking habit?
2. Any allergies?
3. Any shortness of breath?
4. Since how long you are having this symptom?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions so that I can guide you better about medicines and investigations.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
