My mother had CABG surgery 4 months back & since then she is having dry cough. Her X ray recently showed everything is normal. I want to know is there anything worrying about this?

Dry cough could be post operative irritation related or even due to some BP or heart medicine side effects. If it is associated with fever and pain - she may need evaluation with blood reports and chest X-ray
