Chest x ray appears to be normal. And also single episode of streaky hemoptysis is not significant. But if the symptoms repeat. Need to evaluate by doing Chest ct scan

Only single episode of streak hemoptysis is not so serious, it may be due to congestion, but u should be careful if there is repeat episodes of blood in sputum, kindly consult for further evaluation.

Need to know about your smoking history,if any and your occupation.
You have said you had symptoms 6 month ago. And asymptomatic after one episode.
CXR are of poor quality with multiple reflections, can't comment on it.
If you have persistent symptoms, need to evaluate from start again.

Hello dear,
Your xray seems normal, since it was 6 months ago and after that you were completely fine so I think you shouldn't be worried.
slight blood stained sputum is sometimes common in upper respiratory infection (sore throat). don't worry.
If this happenes again then we should consider detail evaluation.
