What Does Chronic Cough Indicate?
I have had a horrible hacking cough (probably 500 times/day) for a week with chills, runny nose and tiredness. I ve been taking mucinex to dry me out and cough suppressant at night and am not getting any better. Now I m wondering if I have pneumonia? I don t see any end in sight.
