Brief Answer:
You should take medicines for cough.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should continue your antihypertensive drugs.
Cough is mostly due to other cause like upper respiratory tract infection (URTI).
So take antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs for URTI.
Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
