Walaikum us salam , that’s a great question.
Let’s understand why you are coughing.
What do we do when somebody unwanted tries to enter in our home?
The answer is we expel that person or kick that person out.
Everybody tries to do the same. Each body part/organ has a different way of doing it. For example:
1.when something unwanted tries to enter in our eyes, our eyes start tearing.
2.When some thing unwanted tries to enter in our throat or lungs , the body tries to expel it by coughing.
3.What Would our nose do when something unwanted tries to make entry Into the nasal passages, it starts running.
4.How about food pipe ? Well , there will vomiting , if upper part and diarrhea if lower part.

Being said that, dairy products are not unwanted. In fact, they constitute healthy consumption in spectrum of food. Then why in some cases, these can cause cough.
My best guess is your body , for some reason , is allergic to dairy. I have encountered patients who can eat all kinds of foods except strawberries.

The answer above is based upon the limited information provided in the question.
