Cough Medications
If pneumonia makes you cough a lot, then your doctor might suggest some cough medicines to calm the symptom. However, keep in mind that coughing would help you move and loosen mucus in your lungs, thus speeding up the recovery. Thus, you should not eliminate the cough completely. Only consider this option when you cannot sleep due to coughing. It is better to take the lowest dosage to get the best health benefits. A good alternative is a cup of warm water mixed with honey or lemon. [7]
