Brief Answer:
Post nasal drip syndrome
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
So according to what you explain you are suffering from Post Nasal Drip syndrome (PND).
Te cough in this situation is a usual symptom do not worry
It doesn't mean that you have pneumonia only with such kind of cough.
If the nasal secretions are going down to the lower airways than they should be excreted from with the cough reflex which is a normal reflex of the organism
