Likely no: Likely nothing wrong. Patients who cough in this situation might have a mold allergy. Molds are common in warm, moist environments.

Cough + Humidity: Could be nothing, as the other doctor noted, but it could also be the first sign of asthma. Cough with humidity is a classic symptom we see. If it persists i would see an asthma specialist for very simple testing to determine if it is asthma since 5k die and 500k are hospitalized yearly due to asthma.

Dr Lewis and another doctor agreed
