Hello.Is very frequent that after respiratory tracts infections,residual cough
exits.If cough is not associated with other symptoms(purulent sputum,fatigue,fever
thorax pain)can be treated at home with antitussives drugs.If not get better with antitussives you must go to your doctor.
¿The pneumonia was confirmed by radiography?.I guess if.In that case it is recommended to thoracic radiography control one month after the first.
I wish you good health.
