Cough after exercise in a child may be associated with exercise bronchospasm, which is often a symptom of exercise-induced asthma. Other possible causes include respiratory infections in the recovery phase, bronchial hyperreactivity, or allergies.
In this situation, I encourage you to consult a paediatrician or pulmonologist, who can order tests such as spirometry with a stress test or allergy tests to make a diagnosis and suggest appropriate treatment.
