A member asked:
My mother aged 50 a diabetic has had a bypass.heart is working at 30%.she has fluids in her lungs as a result she coughs non stop..need meds for cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough: Her cough is probably related to her poor heart function that allows fluid to build up in the lungs. Ask her physician or cardiologist for advise and help... Don't use otc cough meds since she may need to cough up the excess fluid.
