Osephegus surgery

Hello, I am just looking any advice for my mummy. She had 8 weeks ago surgery to remove a cancerous tumour

from her oesophagus.  She had been doing well, then she had alot of fluid in her lung, this is going down but she is constantly coughing which is really upsetting her and hurting her. She seems to not get relief. She is sucking dry sweets and getting natural air and walking .. she is tube fed straight to tummy and is managing small amounts of food. Can anyone offer any advice to soothe cough  , will it disappear  or settle. Any advise would be helpful. Thank u

    I and others have discussed the post operative cough on another thread on numerous occasions and yes while it is annoying it does gradually go away as recovery continues , i found regular flushing out of the sinuses helped greatly in improving this situation and now i have none at all , i am nearly 2 years post operative but did have the cough for most of the first year , just be patient  it's been a major operation and recovery takes time , take care.

    Regards
