Bleeding after bronchoscopy, is this normal?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably: Some streaks after the procedure or if a biopsy was done it can happened but for less than 24 hs usually. If more quantity or persists get your pulmonologist to see you right away.

Yes: If biopsies were performed, a day or two of coughing up small amounts of blood is completely normal. If not biopsies were done, this isn't normal. Or if it's more than just a small amount, like less than a teaspoon per day.
