Possibilities...: This could be due to bronchitis. Since the symptoms have been present for a month, the etiology of your symptoms could be allergic bronchospasm. Coughing blood is called hemoptysis and this is a serious symptom that always needs to be evaluated as malignancy can cause this symptom, especially if you are a smoker. See your doctor asap. If you develop shortness of breath, go to the er for evaluation.
