Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you mother have persistent coughing and difficulty in breathing which is due to lung infection / bronchitis. Deriphyllin syrup cab be given for persistent cough and breathing difficulty, it will give better effects. You can take other preventive measures as well for your mother, avoid giving her cold liquids, spicy, oily and fried food. Give diet rich in multivitamins. Chew vitamin C Pellet. You should gargle with saline water. You should take cough expectorants
as well. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should get X-ray chest done. Get pulmonary function test done as well to find out extent of infection. Start treatment after proper examination.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
