Well, it seems a bit odd that he's coughing so much that he can't sleep - that certainly will hinder healing. Unfortunately, it'd be hard to say what the coughing is from - it could be from the irritation of the stent (as the surrounding tissue heals), it could be from the irritation of being intubated - or a combo. I would definitely ask for a cough suppresant bc the continuned coughing will hinder healing in all kinds of ways (ie, increased pressure in the throat, exhaustion etc.). I hope he is feeling better soon!
