Is Persistent Deep Cough With Productive Phlegm Suggestive Of Pneumonia?

I am 65, male with a persistant deep cough and phlegm for four days. I have been around two people in the last year with pneumonia and was inoculated for both pneumonia and shingles on December 13th. I was working outside in wet, cold weather the day before the symptoms began. Am I likely to have pneumonia?

In my opinion you shoud visit your doctor because reason for such symptoms could be varios from an simple common cold even to pneumonia, but for correct diagnosis you need deeper examination.
