Hello, Serkan.

Welcome to Marrowforums. You seem to have recovered your blood counts very quickly after your stem cell transplant!

It could be that your cough is a side effect of one or more of the medicines you are taking. The problem could be related to the use of immunosuppressive drugs like Cellcept (mycophenolate mofetil) or Sirolimus. I think you should ask your doctor about the possibility that your medicines are contributing to the problem.

Here are some references for your doctor on this topic. Unfortunately, the abstracts do not seem to be available online.
