Post viral : After the viral infection has resolved, the airway may be sensitized and symptoms of prolonged cough, wheezing and chest tightness may occur. If the cough lingers more than 2 to 3 weeks or there is sudden fever, please see your PCP. Secondary pneumonia may occur and there can be consecutive infections of the respiratory tract.
