cough and stuffy nose

hey. i dont have pheumomia anymore but i had it about 2 weeks ago.now i have a stuffy nose and a dry cough. does that have to do anything witb then pheumonia? i do smoke sometimes but i dont know if it has to do with pheumonia or the fact that i was walking outside for a couple days in a row in -20 degree weather so it could just be a cold??

be vigilant even a cold can turn into pheumonia esspecially if you have a history of it... and considering it wasnt that long ago..

im not a dr.

but i used to get pheumonia. and it has been my experience its very easy to have it reoccur , often because even though the pheumonia may be gone the original infection may not be entirely.. smoking makes the chance of this worse as does walking in such cold air, because it irritates your airways and can make them more suseptable.. be careful it could be the original infection occuring or it could be another cold which also could become pheumonia... if any of your symptoms worsen of dont go away see a dr.
