What Causes Persistent Cough After Recovering From Pneumonia?
I had pneumonia in June (left lower lobe), I still have a slight cough and I have noticed my let clavicle area is swollen. Can the 2 be related? If not how long does a cough from PNA take to clear up and what could be the cause of the swollen clavicle?

Hi.
Thanks for the query.
Once your course of injections in hospital is over you are discharged with oral medications. It takes about 10-14 days to stop the cough completely.
It helps to clear your lungs with remnants of cough.
Check it with your doctor if you get fever/ excessive cough/ breathless .
Take regular medicines/ have nutritive food & plenty of liquids ( no alcohol pl. )/avoid exposure to cold weather or allergens.
Thanks
