Hi,
The irritant particles and gases like carbon monoxide cause constriction of the bronchi. The body tries to cough those particles out which causes coughing. It will go in a day or so. Take rest and go for a walk in fresh surroundings.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
