Simple pharyngitis can cause blood in cough. But in your case i am not sure because you have given very limited details.

Just give some cought suppresant n see how she responds to it.
In case of no improvement ,get x ray chest done n we might also need to put her on antibiotics.
Get a CBC done to rule out infection.
Dnt give her any cold food.
Give luke warm water n keep her away from cold
