Brochospasm: The coldness could induce an asthmatic type of response causing a cough, wheeze or shortness of breath. Bronchdilating inhalers can reverse this reaction in your airways. Discuss this with your physician.

Reactive airway: Some are sensitive to cool drinks and get a transient reaction of the upper airways causing these symptoms.
