See a doctor: There are a number of reasons that you can cough up blood some of which are very serious. You should see a physician to have this evaluated.

Brothers are good: Your brother sounds like a wise man. I all seriousness, if you are coughing up blood, it can be as simple as bronchitis, or as bad as lung cancer, or many things in between. You won't find out which on a web site, even he like this. Best to see your doctor...
