Locker room cough: Cough following exercise is a typical symptom of exercise induced bronchospasm. There are good treatments to prevent symptoms and improve exercise capacity.

Possibly...: Sometimes patients w/asthma cough and don't wheeze. To determine if you have this, your doctor could send you for pulmonary function testing and, if normal, you could inhale a chemical that will induce bronchospasm if you are sensitive. If this is positive, your cough is likely due to bronchospasm and treatment can be given.

Reactive airway: You may have exercise-induced asthma, environmental allergies or even reflux. Coughing is a sign of airway irritation. Something is dripping down or refluxing up to your voice box to cause cough.I don't know your medical health or smoking habits. Try not to get labled with "asthma", if its just transient reactive airway disease. it has long-term insurance and health consequences.
