A member asked:
My mother's(59) serum sodium-131 .serum potassium-4.2, serum chloride-91.(all low) can it be the reason for throat infection or prolonged cough.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Those lab values will not cause infection or cough. But if she is taking a blood pressure medication like Lisinopril (or any ending in -pril), that may be the cause of the cough.
