Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Amlopres contains Amlodipine. This medicine is well known to cause severe cough. It is quite common. If that happens, it should be switched to other medicines from the group called sartans (Losartan for example). This medicines works similar to Amlodipine, but do not cause cough.
If its about the lymph node, please have breasts and armpits ultrasound to make sure its nothing serious.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
