Causes of cough after pulmonary nodule surgery

The main causes of cough after lung nodule surgery include bronchial structure damage, inflammation infection and anesthetic intolerance.

1. Bronchial structure damage

If the normal bronchial structure is damaged during lung nodule surgery, it may lead to bronchial distortion. After surgery, it is easy to be stimulated by external substances, and cough symptoms may occur.

2. Inflammation infection

If the patient after lung nodule surgery does not pay attention to daily care, it may lead to bacterial infection, causing bronchial or pulmonary inflammation, which may cause cough symptoms.

3. Anesthetic intolerance

Anesthesia is required during lung nodule surgery. Anesthetic drugs are easy to inhibit the central and peripheral nerves. If the drug effect is too fast, the body cannot tolerate it, it may cause cough symptoms.
