Developed nasty cough -- probably with runny nose is a cold. but worried because i had aortic dissection surgery 6 weeks ago. should i be worried?

Cough after surgery: Might want to consult with a physician for a prescription of a cough suppressant, just to avoid pain, and sleep well, although at 6 weeks, coughing will probably not disturb the surgery site. I hope you feel better soon. Good thing the dissection was detected in time.
