Hello,
Your mother can use over the counter medications for cough like a butamirate containing syrop unless contraindicated for other reasons or codeine-containing cough suppressants for more serious cough. This is just the symptom though. There are infectious (and contagious) causes and other causes (other medication or autoimmune for example) for cough and eosinophilia. If the cause of her cough has not been clarified yet then she needs urgent clinical and radiological evaluation. Cough suppressants will make her cough better but won't cure her!
Kind Regards!
