You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat infection. Violent cough can rupture small blood vessels inside your airway leading to blood streaks in the sputum. You may need to take antibiotics and cough syrups along with steam inhalation for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
