Brief Answer:
No need to worry for this.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should not worry much about not having cough and expectoration.
Your treatment is correct for pneumonia. And so if proper treatment is given then symptoms can subside.
So not having cough and expectoration I'd good sign for pneumonia.
So don't worry about it.
Get done repeat chest x ray after 10-15 days of treatment to see radiological resolution.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
