Hello,

If after consulting pulmonologist, the cough is persisting, then, send her to the ER as she needs immediate investigations and prescription meds. Maybe she might need to get hospitalized.

You can't do much at home but need immediate medical help. Meanwhile, you should give her:

- plenty of fluids and water to keep well hydrated, adding oral rehydration salts can help
- mucolytics to dissolve phlegm (herbal or just containing carbocystein)
- antihistamines for the coughing at night
- run aerosoltherapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
