Hi
Pneumonitis is the reaction of our lung tissue for the response to irritation. That irritation may be viral, allergic, asthma or due to infection.
In your scenario it might be due to allergy. If you have more symptoms take a CT chest. Or else we can observe for4 weeks and review.

It could be cough accumulating in the airways because of asthma or you having some sort of infection . Please show a chest physician. You need to be examined.
