Brief Answer:
Steam inhalation will help

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that yes you can take Benylin for cough you are having but also take steam twice or thrice a day according to your symptoms which will help you recover fast.

Be careful if you develop breathlessness , palpitations like symptoms which are common after CABG but needs immediate medical attention.

Hopefully this information will answer your query.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
