hi,
thank you for Providing the brief history of you.
As post stent there shouldn't be any cough issue. if that elevates than there might be some infection of the lungs leading to the cough
I will advice to take a thorough clinical examination and a blood routine to see if any infection is persisting. based on which the antibiotics may be initiated.
