Your English is fine.

Some causes of blood in spit do not show up on the first x-ray, with or without infection.  You should have a repeat x-ray.  Also, the blood could be coming from your nose or sinuses and draining into your lungs at night.  You may have ruptured some blood vessels with harsh coughing but you and your doctors must not assume that is the cause.  You may have to have a lung specialist look down into your lungs, nose and voice box with an instrument called a bronchoscope.  In fact, you should probably arrange to see a lung specialist soon.

Whatever you do, you should not ignore blood in your spit, if it continues.
