Dr. Ecaterina Sartina answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Check with PCP: If you are coughing long enough and it gets worse, you should get a check up with your doctor. It's difficult to say without examination. It might be walking pneumonia and you need prescriptions for antibiotics, but may be some sort of virus, common cold, which will go away soon.
