Cough 2 weeks post tah (total abdominal hysterectomy)
I was actually starting to feel good and like I was making some progress and then this cough comes out of nowhere! Is this normal 2 weeks post tah? I called my Dr and she said just to take over the counter meds and try to avoid couging. The cough suppressant I got made me feel nauseous all day. Help me stop this? I can't take decongestants or expectorants because they trigger panic attacks.

I sucked on cough drops like Hall's. Also,hold a pillow against your tummy to help with the pain when coughing. I caught a cold 2 weeks post and it was not fun, that I can say...

Try Delsym over the counter cough suppressant. Or ask your doctor for tessalon cough pearls. They really help stop the cough.

Re: Cough 2 weeks post tah (total abdominal hysterectomy)
I found having a glass of very watered down cranberry juice nearby really helped, I had a bendable straw and would take sips so was good when lying in bed. For me the tartness of the cranberry juice seemed to work better then water on its own. Got me through a very nasty flu and cut down the time the flu lasted with the added benefits of what is in the cranberry juice. I always tell my children to drink cranberry juice when flu's are about or they feel it coming on. Hope it works for you.

Re: Cough 2 weeks post tah (total abdominal hysterectomy)
I noticed a cough about 10 days - 2 weeks after surgery too. I started using the nebulizer (?) the thing they made me breath into after surgery. When the intubate you during surgery, it can take a while to regain your full lung strength again. After doing the breathing thing several times for a few days, the cough went away.
Good luck with it -- coughing hurts!
