Hello,
The cough may be due to minor respiratory tract infection. Consult a physician and start a short course of antibiotics.
A chest X-ray has to be taken as a preliminary investigation. If blood pressure is high, anti hypertensives like amlodipine may be started. In severe cases an echo test is required to rule out cardiac causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
