don't panic there is nothing to worry about if your guinea pig coughs a little. It probably has little bit of food stuck in its throat. But if it coughs a lot and dosen't eat or drink anymore then you should take it to the vet.

Your guinea pig probably has a cold. If it gets severe and is hurting the Guinea Pig, contact a vet right away. If you just got it, and the bedding is different from the one in the pet store, buy the same one, and mix it with the bedding you are using. It may also mean it is too dusty or is allergic to its food.

No it's just like a human coughing but watch out if your guinea pig coughs more than 3 to 4 days I'd take him to the doctor because it could be sick!
