I have had a hacking cough with wheezing which came on suddenly on Sunday and remained until yesterday when it stopped as abruptly as it started. Visited my PCP yesterday when I was diagnosed with pneumonia and given a steroid shot in my backside. The cough has not occurred since that shot. I spoke with their office this AM and was advised that the Xray taken did not indicate pneuemonia and not to take the antibiotic that was prescribed. They were unable to give me an explanation of what had caused this. Can you? I would very much like to have an answer that my doc couldn t give me. Thank you so very much for your time.
