Forceful coughing sometimes can cause rupture of small blood vessels inside your airway and cause these symptoms. Usually treatment with mucolytics, cough syrups and steam inhalation is sufficient
Next Steps
Consult nearby pulmonologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
