@douglasgb I had a dry cough for about three weeks post Esophagectomy. I contacted my surgeon and she ordered a CT and I was admitted back into the hospital. The CT showed quite a bit of fluid surrounding my left lung, and she had me re-admitted to the hospital. They put a drain in my side and over two days more than a liter of fluid drained out. The cough was gone instantly, and it hasn’t come back. I’m at about five months post now. I would recommend you contact your surgical team and describe what’s happening. Good luck to you!
