hi welcome to hcm i am dr sunil a pulmonologist
he looks like having hemoptysis he needs to get admitted and be treated with absolute bed rest ,anti cryptic agents ,and proper antibiotics
most common cause might be bronchitis,as he is having chest pain and spitting blood it looks like a complicating pneumonia which might have caused a cavity in lung which might be the reason forspitting of blood.so iwould advise him toget admitted in nearby hospital and get himself a chest xray , cbp ,and get evaluated by chest physician
