Can Cough Be The Reaction Caused By Taking The Medications For Stents?
Doctor,
I visited my uncle last week, he is about 67 and has had a couple of stents put in a couple of months ago. He had a dry cough, especially in the morning. I am a little concerned. He lives alone and is not one to divulge what he is feeling. Can the cough be a reaction to the meds he is taking
