Hi Richa,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
The cough you are experiencing is mainly because of post-nasal drip following surgery. Also after surgery, some amount of mucosal irritation will be there. You can take mucolytic syrup to liquify the secretions. Gradually, it will subside and you don't have to worry much about it.
