Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand how you feel, but at the mean time try to give your mam paracetamol or panadol tab to lower her temperature, and make her to stay home and take a rest. If cough began to appear or runny nose, please seek a medical check up in the nearest health facility to you.

I hope she will be fine soon..

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
