Yes it can..if it has been started recently and it's not too disturbing u can continue to take it and see if the cough subsides. Cough often subsides within a month and in some cases within 3 months
If it doesnt or it's very disturbing u have to change meds.

Dear Sir
Yes telmisartan can cause a cough although it is very rare. It depends on how much it troubles you. Also is this new? Any association when it was started or is this a new thing, as it may have another cause.
If it is troubling you then will need to change to another medication for your hypertension.
Next Steps
Take an online consult.
