Cough: if its a one time deal no worries if it persists it warrants a look at by your doctor .occasionally a small cough will break a small blood vessel and cause bleeding usually it goes away

Possibly: Except following a long, extended coughing bout (and sometimes even then also), coughing up blood is not normal and should be a cause for concern. Make sure to is not blood from your mouth from bleeding gums or from a nosebleed, but assuming it is in your sputum/mucus, you should follow up with your doctor soon.
