A member asked:
My dad had triple bypass surgery last week he has contd to cough since the surgery. is it normal after his bypass surgery? if yes, how long ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough: Bypass surgery by itself is not going cause cough, may be another reason for it. It could be from medication or infection or asthmatic reaction in the lung. Once the cause is identified and treated the cough should subside
