Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Pneumonia causes thick mucus production. And it is hard to expectorate.
So it can cause difficulty in coughing out sputum an also difficulty in talking.
So you need mucolytic and expectorant drugs.
These drugs will dilute your thick mucus and make it easy to cough out.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
