It takes a long time for the lung tissue to heal after pneumonia. The white mucus is not a symptom of infection but rather the healing process. If the mucous changes to more yellow or green then you may want to consult your doctor.

Why is your cocker spaniel still coughing after being on Lasix for 24 hours?

He may still have some fluid or mucus on his chest. Increase your dogs fluids and this will break up any mucus and Lasix will make your dog thirsty. If he's having trouble breathing or constantly coughing then call your Vet asap.

When suffering from a light pneumonia is playing the trumpet bad for your health?

Probably not if you are otherwise healthy. But if you have, or it causes, any blood in your sputum, severe coughing, pain or lightheadedness you should stop and consult your health care professional. One of the treatments for pneumonia is deep breathing to help aerate the deep recesses of your lungs and cough up mucus, so if you start out easy it may even help you clear your lungs. However, it may be that you will not be able to sustain the breathing required for playing a brass instrument and you should not push it. Obviously, if you have a fever and are still contagious, you should not be in public or around other people to spread the infection to them and you should be resting in bed. No one else should use your trumpet after you have.
