Spitting blood after cough

I sneezed a few times tonight. Afterwards I spit out small amounts blood mixed with mucus and saliva for about 5 minuets and then the blood stopped. Should I be worried?

Forceful sneezing sometimes causes rupture of small blood vessels inside the nose which can be the reason for bleeding in your case. If bleeding is not persistent and not occurring repeatedly then you need not worry
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
