I have a persistent cough which has left my chest raw. I read on the internet that the cough can last 6 weeks. Any advice anyone can give me to speed my recovery would be much appreciated.

Pneumonia is not a specific disease. It is a general term for several kinds of inflammation of the lungs. Viral pneumonia , for instance does not respond to treatment with antibiotics. In a healthy young adult, pneumonia resulting from mild respiratory infection might cause symptoms that are no worse than those of an ordinary cold. A healthy young person should recover completely within two to three weks. Even in cases of viral pneumonia, the chances of serious complications are minimal, since antibiotics can prevent secondary bactrial infections. Following recovery, you may still feel very tired for a long time after the infection is gone.
