Hi Anand,
It is not uncommon to have cough after valve surgery.But most of them finish in a few weeks.If all her tests echo, Xray are normal then you may want to treat her with allergy medications such as cetrizine etc.Cough suppressant syrups can be used but mostly they don't have a consistent benefit
