[|AI|]  Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your husbands situation and problem. He is having multiple pulmonary embolism (PE). In PE chances of pulmonary infarction and pneumonia are high. So his constant coughing can be due to infarction or pneumonia. So better to get done chest x-ray to rule out these complications. If infarction is the cause then he may need heparin injection. If pneumonia is the cause then he may need antibiotic Chat Doctor.  So first diagnose him and then start appropriate treatment.
