Hi

Thanks for your query.
Noted that your mother HSS already been diagnosed as one vocal cord paralysis, but you say the voice is normal. This means we have to first find the cause of vocal cord paralysis and the cause of coughing too.
I do not think that paralyzed vc can cause coughing.
I would advise you to take another opinion and go for MRI of the brain, neck, X-ray of the chest and also an opinion of a neurologist.
I find this answer helpful
