Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Swimming may lead to cold if prone.
Some water may enter trachea as well as nose during swimming.
This may give rise to irritation and cough.
It will pass off in due course.
Better keep away from swimming till the throat is clear.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
