Brief Answer:
This is suggestive of asthma.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. They are very suggestive of cold induced or exercised induced asthmatic crisis. I will suggest that you keep away from these provoking factors. If you must get out in the cold, then dress warm. Also, there are medications that you can take prior to exercising that would help prevent the onset of cough and possible asthmatic crisis. I will recommend you discuss this with your doctor and pursue the options of trying preventive care for this. Each time this happens, please use salbutamol spray for rapid relief.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
