You didnt mention the type of hysterectomy that you had & the exact location of the soreness you are experiencing... Feeling sore at week 4 is still common.

A cough right after surgery from oxygen, being intubated is common but to start coughing weeks later sounds like you may a cold, post nasal drip? Gargle, hot tea-no caffeine, hot water w lemon, hard candies or cough drops. i If you feel like its in your chest, then see your Dr. Razor blades in stomach? I think call your Dr to ease your mind.

Feel better!

My suggestions for a dry cough include Ricola cough drops, slippery elm tea, and green tea with 1 tsp of honey. I've actually heard from other sisters catching colds soon after their surgeries, a common result of antibiotics used in the surgery, which indiscriminately kill off the good bacteria inside your intestinal tract, which accounts for 70% of your immune system; a broad-spectrum probiotic supplement can help to restore them. Also keep a small pillow handy, to protect your belly when you do cough. Here's hoping you'll be over this soon, and back on the road to recovery!
