Detailed Answer:
HI,

I have reviewed your information fully and feel comfortable providing an accurate and helpful response. Your chronic cough is a known adverse effect of valsartan. You have been on this drug and you should definitely ask your doctor about this. In my opinion, he should consider changing this drug to another more friendly one without this side effect.

Keep me posted. I wish you well.
