What Causes Cold And Cough After Head Bath?

My child who is 3 years old catches cold every time she has a head bath. It progresses to cough eventually. I wash her hair with lukewarm water and dry it immediately. I oil her hair 30 minutes before her head bath, I do not apply oil otherwise. Why does she get cold and cough every time after head bath?

HI...scientifically there is no explanation for head bath and cold. But I feel that your kid is having an allergic tendency. She will grow out of it eventually.
