cough caused by Pneumonia?

[Joseph]

When I had pneumonia NO cough syrup worked. I had to get a couple of prescriptions from the doctor -- one for a kick-ass decongestant, and the other for the infection. After a couple of days bed-rest I felt much better.

Pneumonia is infection (too many bad organisms) in the lung.Antibiotics will get rid of the infection. Read the label and see if the syrup contains antibiotics. This could be difficult to tell.Generally, you need a prescription to get hold of antibiotics.
