Question: what kind of cough syrup is best for the cough caused by Pneumonia? 

Answer: When I had pneumonia NO cough syrup worked.  I had to get a couple of prescriptions from the doctor -- one for a kick-ass decongestant, and the other for the infection.  After a couple of days bed-rest I felt much better.
