There could be many things wrong. Normally when a hamster is ill it will carry on as normal.

When first getting a hamster, you should give it a couple of days to adjust. You can start to get to know them by laying your hand in the cage with a treat on it.

Keep trying this for a couple of days and your hamster will begin to feel more comfortable around you!
Actually, one of the best cures for common lethargy is to be active. Instead of laying in bed, get up, dressed, and take a short walk.

Your hamster does not cough but it makes a noise like a cough, this means that the hamster is rubbing its paws against its skin to remove unwanted dirt. There is no need to worry about that but if it doesn't do it often enough it could catch a cold, if so then take it to the vet ASAP.
