Coughing after oesophagectomy

Hi, I know it’s a pain but sipping drinks helped me with the coughing, also using a straw helped. If I go out for a meal now and have a drink I just sip it, all my friends have become accustomed to me doing it. We all seem to have odd things we have to cope with after this surgery.

Good luck 

Thanks for your reply. I'll definitely try using a straw to see if that helps. I know it's still early days so hopefully symptoms will get better over time.
