Suggest Treatment For Persistent Productive Cough
My mother had a stroke six years ago. She's 91 and has had several chest infections over the last 18mths and has been left with a persistant productive cough. While her prognosis isn't very good I wondered if there was something that could suppress the cough which can go on for long periods and leaves her exhausted.
