A member asked:

My mother had a full thyroidectomy 8 months ago, she now has an increasingly persistant cough, should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO but need: She need to be investigated , most likely due to irritation from endotracheal tube used to administer anesthesia , may have developed bronchitis , let her doctor examine her , and take an appointment for follow up visit.
