MarketplaceHeart Cough Is it acceptable to have a cough after CABG? My father just received a bypass operation and returned to the house tomorrow. But my mother and I are sick, we have a bad cough. My father always mesh and things so what happens if he gets a cough? It should not cough. It will clutch a pillow to take to try not to have his chest expand, which will hurt like crazy if he does. He will not cough, sneeze, laugh, take a deep breath, the breath or chest expansion. It will abdominal breathing. His chest should be wired shut, so it can not open, but it can really hurt. My grandfather had a jumper 3 years ago and he was in great pain when he coughed. He had to press a pillow on his chest just to cough. If he gets a cough, it could be in much pain. Yes, he will have his own cough. he will need to embrace the pillow to keep his points together. your cough needs a mask, gloves and other medical. even if the preparation of a glass of water or eat anything for him. if you're sick, let him stay a day or two. in this state, it is very likely to get your cold. whether to come home, wear a mask. Do not cough around him. Wash your hands every time you cough or touch. Make sure he keeps his incision covered and clean, as indicated. He must exercise his cough and deep breathing as directed by his doctors and nurses. It is important that no cough and deep breathing for a few hours to keep her lungs open and expanded, and prevent pneumonia. Maybe you can get some disposable masks to wear when you're around you until your father-cough disappears. You can get them from nurses, where he is, or maybe the pharmacy. I can not stress how important it is for everyone in your house to wash their hands .... same father. Good luck Be sure his doctor KNOWS that you are sick. It might be useful to a motel room for a few days until you get over it. Posted on February 12, 2010.
