Cough antihypertensi: Ace inhibitors can cause a persistant cough and can cause allergic selling or hives. The cough however is related to kinens and is usually not a true allergy. In rare cases most any drug can cause a cough from a hypersensitivity reaction.

Side effect...: Some blood preserve medicines can cause cough as a side effect. If it is determined by your doctor that you have this side effect, and it is bothersome, then the medicine causing this side effect can be changed under your doctor's supervision. Cough as sign of allergy is possible but cough as side effect is more common with BP meds.
