US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has cancelled a campaign trip to California after being diagnosed with pneumonia, the BBC reports.
Clinton took ill on Sunday during the 9/11 memorial ceremony and had to leave the event early.
The candidate’s team said she was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday and given antibiotics, but had become dehydrated at the New York event.
Her doctor said she was now re-hydrated and “recovering nicely”.
Mrs Clinton was due to leave for California on Monday morning for a two-day trip that included fundraisers and a speech on the economy.
Her personal physician, Dr Lisa Bardack, said: “Secretary Clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies.
“On Friday, during follow-up evaluation of her prolonged cough, she was diagnosed with pneumonia.
“She was put on antibiotics, and advised to rest and modify her schedule.”
