Cough in patient who has undergone cardiac surgery needs to be evaluated in detail by clinical examination and sometimes tests. Problems in the heart can sometimes present with cough. So it is better to avoid self medication
Next Steps
Consult nearby cardiologist and pulmonologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
