Oftentimes, when children are ill, they don't speak up and let anyone know about their symptoms until they are quite obvious to others. They just continue to play and pay no attention to what is happening inside of them. Look at how the cold never seems to bother a child - I don't know how many times I have to tell my kids to put their jackets back on or come in out of the rain etc. A week later you find that they have had a sore throat for several days or worse. As an adult, you don't need anyone to tell you when you aren't feeling good or when you need to see a doctor. I sure hope you will feel better soon! Be sure you aren't pushing yourself by overdoing it with activity. Rest a lot! Drink a lot of fluids. If you want to take cough syrup, then take it at night when you need the sleep otherwise, the best thing you can do with pneumonia is to cough all of that crud up to get rid of it. You don't want to supress your cough at all during the day, okay? Also, be careful using the nasal spray. They cause your nasal membranes to swell and you soon find that you NEED to use it just to breathe right. It can be very addicting and damaging to your body. Rubbing Vick's on your chest at night would be good. Dabbing a bit of it under or around the outside of your nostrils wouldn't hurt anything either. Feel better soon!!!
