Please see a chest physician/ pulmonologist. Bronchoscopy is a procedure where a small tube fitted with a camera is passed into your lungs to see where the bleeding is coming from.
You will need a Chest X ray, CT scan of chest and a few other sputum tests before bronchoscopy, unless it is an emergency.

Bronchoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that allows a clinician to inspect tracheo bronchial tree. If any abnormality was found that undergo sampling like biopsy or taking secretions.
If blood coming out from nose and mouth, firstly we have to exclude abnormality of nose and throat
Bleeding disorders are also needs to be excluded if history of similar is present.
