During surgery the patient is medicated with sedatives as adjunctives to the anesthetic agent, and these sedatives tend to suppress coughing. Also, if a patient is coughing excessively due to infection, he is not a good candidate for surgery anyway due to the ongoing inflammatory response.

Why do you have constant coughing after general anesthesia?

Constant coughing after general anesthesia can occur due to irritation of the throat and airways from the intubation process, where a tube is inserted to help with breathing during surgery. Anesthesia can also cause a dry throat and mucus buildup, leading to coughing as the body attempts to clear the airways. Additionally, any underlying respiratory issues or the presence of anesthetic gases can contribute to post-operative coughing.
