Q: my doctor thinks i ruptured a blood vessel in my throat from coughing. should ibe worried? how can it be treated?

: These are usually superficial capillaries that will self-heal in days. This triggers a small amount of blood that will mix with our saliva. You would be vomiting coffee ground material if a quantity made it into your stomach. I would not lose sleep over this.
