A member asked:

Coughing for a few months, mild mostly dry. month and a half mild shortness breath.what can it be? how long before pneumonia symptoms show?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is not pneumoni: Pneumonia is an acute infection of the lung. It develops rather suddenly, over 3-5 days and does not linger on for more than one to 3 weeks. Anything persisting longer requires complete evaluation for allergies or for a more chronic condition. Go see a Pulmonologist for further advice.
