A member asked:
How can i treat a cough after open heart surgery that is not pulmonary or reflux related.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cause?: Then what is the cause? Has CHF been ruled out? Asthma? Maybe just irritation from the endotracheal tube? Are you taking an angiotensin inhibitor? (a common cause). The cornerstone of treatment is an accurate diagnosis.
