Hi, Suresh Welcome to Healthcare Magic, Your Mother might be suffering from backward
nasal discharge i.e. nasal discharge instead of flow outside through the Nose drips backward and irritate the Pharynx causing irritating dry cough while lying down.
trying 1/2 tablet of Loratidine 30 minutes before going to sleep and consult an E.N.T.
for further Diagnosis and Management.

Regards.
