Does Sinus Infection Have Mild Pneumonia Like Symptoms?
My mom has been tested several times for pneumonia, but test is negative. For months she sounds like she has a cold. She does not have a runny nose or sneezing. Doc said it is not a sinus infection. She has an occasional cough which she has always had. Her voice is more strained as the day goes on.
