Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain if you have pain on one side of throat and also coughed slight blood on cleaning the tongue with brush, then there is a possibility that you have slightly injured the tongue and throat leading to soreness and bleeding..

You need not to worry as by now nothing looks serious..

But in case if there is repeatedly episodes of bleeding during coughing then you need to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated..

As of now do warm saline gargles and also take soft diet..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
