Hi
If you are experiencing a troublesome cough after ramipril ( an ACE inhibitor) , don't worry, you can switchover to a angiotensin receptor blocker drug like telmusartan.
Also exclude other causes of cough and cold because ACEI inhibitor causes dry brassy cough and not associated with upper respiratory tract symptoms which you mentioned in your query.

Thank you
