Went to er yesterday & told i have early stages of pneumonia. prescribed benzonatate, azithromycin prednisone but still coughing, is this normal?

Give it time: It will take at least 2-3 days for your symptoms to start to improve and probably well over a week for them to clear up entirely. Hang in there. Take all your meds as prescribed and discuss with your doctor if you have any questions or concers.
