The treatment of cough after pulmonary nodule surgery should be symptomatic according to the patient's specific condition. Postoperative cough is a common symptom of pulmonary nodules. Because of surgical resection of part of the lung, the stimulation of the excised lung edge will cause cough. If the patient has yellow sputum, fever, and cough, it indicates that there may be lung infection, and at this time, anti infection and anti-inflammatory treatment should be actively carried out. Some patients suffer from irritating cough after inhaling cold air, which can occur even if they talk for a long time. This condition is a common symptom after the operation of pulmonary nodules, which can be generally treated with oral antitussive drugs and anti allergic drugs. Patients can eat more protein rich foods at ordinary times, such as lean meat, eggs, beans and protein powder, which is conducive to the recovery of physique.
