question: I have just been released from the hospital with pneumonia and I have been home 3 days with chronic coughing.  On antibiodics, prednisone and cough syrup and I have swelling in the pelvic region and black/blue/purple and red bruising.  Can that be from coughing so hard?  I did not have it when I left hospital 3 days ago.  I am 50 year old, in good shape, woman
