My wife has coughed blood today and it happened 2 weeks before once. The color of the blood coming in cough is very light and it happened after two weeks, I am a little concerned I will take her to a doctor this saturday, before that if you can suggest some precaution then that would be helpful.

Most common cause of blood in sputum is tuberculosis. Your wife could be having tuberculosis. Your doctor will advise you x ray chest and sputum test. Other causes are worms, acute bronchitis, pulmonary congestion etc. But they are rare.
