Cough on inhaling: May be reactive airways/asthma. You indicate it is like breathing cold air ,which is a form of ashtma called cold induced asthma . May be allergy induced asthma. Would follow up with PFTs and pulmonary doctor. You may benefit from an inhaler. May also be related to gastritis or acid reflux causing reactive airways so can try ranitidine/ prevecid and see if helps. f/u w/ doc
