lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. If a person has hypothyroidism and if it is uncontrolled with high TSH levels, a variety of symptoms are seen. But cough is not usually seen unless the patient has any throat infection. Does she have any large swelling of the thyroid? Because such a swelling can cause pressure symptoms. You have not mentioned her thyroid hormone and TSH levels as well as dosage of levothyroxine being taken. Also her height and weight. Please come back with all the details, then I will be able to comment and also be able to suggest. It is better if you come in a private conversation as only then I will be able to prescribe any drugs. Thanks.
