Does talking worsen pneumonia? i always choke-cough after talking or laughing

No: Talking does not worsen pneumonia in any way. Pneumonia is a bacterial infection of the lower airway. The choke-cough that you do after talking or laughing is actually your epiglottis keeping your saliva from entering your lungs. Hope this helps!
