That depends if I am getting better or worse
HI,
Many times I will have a nagging cough mostly from Nasal Drip down the throat (#1) cause of Post nasal drip coughing.
If its in the lungs, I would be sure I am getting better, no fever and then ride to bring up the congestion. I ve noticed that I will have coughing fits after getting over Pneumonia when I first start exercising and they will gradually ease off after a week or two.
