Brief Answer:
Needs work up and evaluation for other causes as well

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Pneumonia in last year followed by cough and phlegm build up triggered by cold air and fluids, should be evaluated for non pulmonary causes as well. Gastric discomfort like acid reflux can also give recurrent sore throat and cough upon irritation. Laryngitis and pharyngitis may also occur in that.

However a complete thorough evaluation and examination of lungs like pulmonary functions,c hest radiographs, laryngoscopies etc should be performed to rule out any airway disease.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Khan
