High Fever, Dry Cough After Cardio Ablation. No Relief With Steroid Shot And Zpack. Is Cough Related To Ablation?

I had a cardio ablation on Oct 28.No afib since,but developed fever of 103, dry coughing , weak and nauseated on Oct 31.Placed overnight in hosp.Released the next day feeling much better!.Every thing was ok for about 3 weeks,but then.developed a dry cough.Went back to Doc who gave me a steroid shot and zpack 2 days ago. No relief yet.Could the dry cough be related to the ablation or the TEE done just before ablation? I have asthma. Suggestions?
