Suggest Medication For Dry Cough With History Of Heart Surgery
Hi. My husband has a dry cough but had open heart surgery in early May to fix his aorta and aortic valve. He is on Sotalol to control his heartbeat and aspirin. Is Pholcodine ok for him to take? There is no other ingredient in the cough syrup. Thanks. Christine
