Not necessarily...: Sometimes after an upper respiratory infection, there can be bronchospasm that results, which can give the symptoms you describe-cough, irritation, etc. Treatment with a bronchodilator inhaler and perhaps even a steroid inhaler can be helpful in getting rid of these symptoms. So, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Asthma is made if there is recurrent bronchospasm with other criteria.
