Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your mother in law have symptoms of persistent cough and sore throat which is due to chronic lung infection or due to impaired immunity of body. Need not to worry much. You need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug. You should sip on warm water and do warm saline gargles. I would suggest you to visit pulmonologist once and get it examined. You should go for pulmonary function tests along with blood tests and x-ray chest as well to check exact level of infection. Start treatment only after proper prescription. You should take cough expectorants as well along with hot milk boiled in turmeric.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
