Hogs often cough, expecially when in the nest and it’s perfectly normal. But it can also be a sign of lungworm/illness
If it’s just a little cough, like you or I would do to clear our airways then I wouldn’t worry, but if it sounded more like a heavy smokers cough then you’d be advised to contact your nearest carer.
Note that if they are sharing a nest and one is sick the other will need treating too
