I don't have spleen. wondering how long i should wait with this cough and no fever to see if go way on own? cold or pneumonia? had for 1 week so far

Best to see your doc: Without the spleen as a protective reservoir, you may be at increased risk of certain infections. It is good that you don't have a fever at this time, but if your cough is serious, it's best to see a doctor for an exam, and perhaps an xray to make sure you don't have pneumonia.
