HI

Thanks for posting your query.

It is very unlikely to either to cause Cough but Metformin can cause Gastritis and lead to Vomiting.

Cough could be due to either Infection or allergy of throat or lungs . Do salt water gargling 3-4 times a day , eat less oily food , avoid non veg food and avoid Citrus fruits.

If cough still persists then you need to consult your doctor as you may require Antibiotic therapy.

Also don't stop Levothyroxine. You can Stop Metformin but you need to consult your doctor for an alternate medicine.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask .

Regards.
