Hacking cough and slightly runny nose 7 days post op

I had RNY 12-28-06 I was coughing every other breath before going under. They assured me all would be OK. I came out on drugs so the coughing subsided (Thank God). I am now 7 days post op and have a runny nose and am coughing every breath. I've had this stuff since before Thanksgiving. About the time I think I'm getting well I get sick again. It is really hard to cough after surgery. I also recently started have swelling of the soft pallet that surrounds my throat. Any ideas what might be wrong. I called my doctors PA and asked for antibiotics which they did not give me. Oh well what do you think? I've been sick for over 7 weeks now.
