Can CABG Cause Excess Phlegm With Little Cough?
Hi, I'm writing to you for my father.3 months ago he had an CABG. After that he had problems with fliud up in lungs. For this, he got codeine and antidegongestants. This situation caused farcture of breatbone. So he did a second operation in order to fix the breatbone. Now everything is fine, except for the excess of phlegm which cause him a lit of cough and he is afraid of another damage of the breatbone. So, What he can do to resolve this situation?
