Brief Answer:
Get done chest x ray and PFT.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
Chronic dry cough can be due to lung infection or bronchitis.
So better to consult pulmonologist for her and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system.
2. Chest x ray.
3. PFT ( pulmonary function test )
Chest x ray is needed to rule out lung infection.
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
So consult pulmonologist and first diagnose her and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your mother.
Thanks.
