I feel sorry for your loss. But its of all you should know that why froathing occurs from mouth and nostrils. The cause is whenever patient is bed ridden there is chances of aspiration so if anything we try to give her by mouth or may be solely it can occur as regurgitation from stomach goes to lungs where it get mixed with the air in lung. Which can come out from nose and mouth. It can also be due to poisoning.
