Hello,
Telma and Dytor are medicines given for high blood pressure and heart failure. These may not be corrected by coronary bypass surgery alone. If the swelling remains in spite of these medicines, he needs to consult a doctor and have his present condition reassessed and more effectively treated.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
