For what length of time can i expect a cough to last after recovering from pneumonia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be a while: Unfortunately a cough that results from significant lung infection like pneumonia can last from a couple of weeks to even several months. The other symptoms like fever and mucus production should resolve much more quickly with treatment however.
