Try and stay calm, chest infections and coughing can cause red streaks in what you bring up. I had it once about 10 years ago and it worried me - still here!!
My 14 year also has coughed up streaky blood when she has had a chest infection....try not to worry xx

HI!! Deep breaths!! Your "okay" - chances are you have irritated the lining of your throat with the infection and like a cut on your hand it is bleeding a bit (especially if you have been coughing a lot). It'll heal in time....and just a note, if you google any symptom I guarantee you will find you have some type of cancer ;-)
