A member asked:

I had pneumonia and it went away but there is still a cough. is this normal? how do i get rid of this annoying cough?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let me explain: How do you know it went away? You have to be sure clinically and by x-ray. Go back to your doctor and tell about the cough he will give you something for it.(some thing have Codeine with it, it will get red of the cough).
