Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience cough and sore throat with a high blood pressure following intake of over the counter drug and pain drug for meniscus repair I am suggesting you have developed asymptomatic hypertensive disease
In view of this please continue with your antihypertensive medication and check your blood pressure regularly
I hope this helps Regards
