Having a cough is one of the most common reasons for seeing your doctor. Normal coughing is important to keep your throat and airways clear by getting rid of mucus or other irritating particles. However, an ongoing (chronic) or severe cough may mean you have an underlying disease or disorder.

Highlights
Diagnosis:
Diagnosing pneumonia may be difficult, since lab tests to grow the bacteria from samples can take many days to process, and chest x-rays cannot always distinguish between pneumonia and other conditions. New tests have the potential to make diagnosis easier and quicker. One is a blood test that identifies a marker of severe inflammation in the body.

My bed and me are usually best friends, and when it's time to get into my PJs and retire for the night, I usually have no trouble falling asleep. Occasionally though, I lie in bed tossing and turning and worrying about my coughing daughter down the hall, stressing about tomorrow's to-do list, or daydreaming about what I'll make for the dinner party I have planned for the weekend. The next thing I know, I look at the clock and an hour has gone by.
