What are the symptoms of black mold and what does it look like?

Hacking cough - no other symptoms?

• My sister developed a similar cough a couple days ago, and now we both have a similar cough. Apart from tiredness and fatigue (I slept for more than 14 hours yesterday but I'm doing better today). I don't necessarily have trouble breathing or shortness of breath either. Like I said - no other symptoms before or after the coughing. I've had it for 3-4 days now. My sister got pneumonia last year and she's got it again, I have never had pneumonia. My mother won't let me go to the doctor or have any medicine, but my sister is allowed, so I'm largely alone on this. I did do some heavy spring cleaning last week, but my sister didn't do a thing so I don't know if this was due to any dust or mold that was inhaled - my sister got it before I did heavy cleaning. I've been trying to look for possible sickness but so many include other important side-effects that I just don't have.

  Lol. If there's no fever or sputum, I'm inclined to think just allergens, asthma attack or irritants. Atypical pneumonia is a possibility if ur sis has pneumonia. As for fungal, there should be fever. Viral is possible, as it can lead to dry coughs. If so, it will get better after a while.
