Dp previously had pneumonia (5 yrs ago)...now he got cough....and he works outdoors

[Biglipsdrankallthexmasbaileys]

hes a window cleaner. He caught pneumonia after having a cough and was working outside in the freezing cold rain (Feb).

How long should he give this cough before he rings the docs?? (he is extra careful now)

i say a week???

Depends on the cough. Is he coughing so much that he turns red and cant catch his breath or just a little annoying tickle?
I have had a reoccurent cough since having pneumona 3 years ago. Have developed adult asthma as a result. I live on my puffers (or inhalers as they are also known). Go see the GP sooner then later. Nothing worse then coughing for 3 years straight.

yes it just a tickly cough atm. but he very rare get ill. he said that he wanted to wait till monday but ive said now...but its his health.

he had the cough (and cold) since the weekend had gone

my dd had pneumonia back in march and she didnt have a cough ,she had high temp ,pains in chest ,and vomiting
