A member asked:
Husband has pneumonia in both lungs. on day 4 of levaquin. still having bad coughing fits. have bought delsym. not helping. anything else i can do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Hopefully by day 4, the infection is clearing. However, it can take quite a bit longer for the coughing to resolve. If you could find Chestal with honey (over the counter), that works as good as anything I've tried over the counter. If it keeps up though, he might benefit from being seen again to ensure he's on the road to recovery and that he just has the annoying, lingering cough.
