Hi, thank you for asking healthcare magic
I understand your concerns

It could be possible for cold to cause this. Cold affects your respiratory system. At the level of the nostrils, it can cause an inflammation known as rhinitis which can manifest with mild bleeding. At the level of lungs, it can cause an inflammation known as bronchitis. At times bronchitis could lead to bloody sputum.

Generally, coughing up of blood is not a sign that should be taken lightly. It is always important for a patient to be properly assessed when he/she presents with this. The causes might be simple or severe.

Despite the fact that she has a cough that can give these symptoms, it would be important for her to see a doctor for proper assessment and management.

I hope that answers your query
I wish her well
