Question Puppy coughing when drinking

Hi everyone...... wondering if anyone has come across this, or can give me any advice?

In the past couple of days our Dalmatian puppy seems to cough everytime she has a drink of water. She only coughs about 2 to 3 coughs and brings nothing up, but seems to do it everytime. She doesn't seem to drink very fast so I don't think its because she's gulping or anything. She's completely fine with her food, even if I give her something with quite a lot of liquid such as goats milk and she definitely eats faster than she drinks

This is the only time she is doing it, she doesn't when she is playing or excited or anything like that.

I have googled this and to be honest some of the things I've read is quite scary such as Magaesophagus.

Is this something I should be worrying about? and should I really be going to the vets with it? Or am I just being a neurotic "new mum"

Our other dog never did this when he was a pup, so not sure if its normal or not.
