Persistent cough: Without more info, hard to say what's happening. Cough can persist after successful pneumonia treatment for several weeks; it's also possible/likely that your 2yo has developed 1-2 additional viral URIs that have extended his cough symptom. However, persistent cough can also be caused by chronic sinusitis, which would need additional treatment. Give your doc a call so they can gather more info.
