Question

I'm a bit concerned about my dad. He had a CABG surgery last week and was discharged from the hospital this Tuesday. It's been three days now, but he's been having this persistent coughing, especially when he talks. It's really affecting his sleep and mood because it hurts where his chest was stitched. Should I be worried about this? Is this something that commonly happens after such operations? What should we possibly do about it?
