Hello,
If blood is coming after coughing means it may be originating from throat or lower respiratory tract. Also, possible that injury may cause bleed into sinuses may come with sputum.
Please consult your physician, he/she will examine (chest x-ray, x-ray PNS) and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
