hey there try not to worry
just get her to go to the doctor then you will know. don't worry yourself it is probably a cold that has spread into the chest making it hard to clear up. maybe she needs some anti biotics.

Only the doctor can say for sure. It could be something like a bad case of bronchitis and nothing serious. I once had a cold that left me coughing for a month even though I had no other symptoms. I wonder though, is she a smoker or around cigerette smoke a lot? If so it could be smoker's cough.

She really needs to see a doctor. She could be coughing because of things dripping down into her throat etc.
I believe the doctor will put her on an antibiotic that will kick it all in the bud so to speak. This could turn into pneumonia if it continues without a doctors help.Make sure Mom get to the doctor so she can get better.

i have been like your mother for two months now. i just went to the doctor and he said it was allergies, and also prescribed claritin and a 3 day anti-biotic.
Chances are it's just an allergy. The coughing I feel in my situation is a sneeze, but it's coming out as a cough. Sometimes when I cough I sneeze at the same time.
Good luck to you!

Is she coughing anything up - if so, is it yellow or green? If so, it could be an chest infection and she'll find it hard to get shot of it without a doctor.

Hey, Hello Kitty...sounds like what my boyfriend and I went through. He first got sick then I got sick (even worse) but then when he was gettin' better I gave him a kiss..poor judgement...and he got sick again. Chances are if yer mom's like me...she just doesn't have as strong as an immune system as you..so it's lasting longer...is she having any dairy product at all?
Cause that's a no-no...and will add to her coughing and hackin' up stuff..yummy! I made Icys from orange/with pulp (fiber) just add ice and whipped it up in a blender...refreshing because it was so hot out.
Tell her to remove all sugars from her diets while she's sick..that's really important. For soothing yer throat..I'd take spoonfuls of honey..plus the Ricola's (apple- the one I like!) Cough Drops because their packed with herbs in them. Cough Syrup is crap...it's just a temp relief plus their's usually alcohol or other drugs in it that will just hinder the immune system even more. I was coughin' so much I think I crack a rib on my right lower side. Hurt to do anything..so I just rested as much as I could...no heavy lifting. I had to cancel 3 week of clients (I'm a Home Organizer)...but my health is worth it! So is your and yer moms!
There's nothing a Dr. can do for a cracked rib but just send you home and say rest and try not to cough. (Yeah, like I could NOT cough..doctors are worthless at times!(Even going to the bathroom hurt..cause yer moving muscles in that lower area.)
Anyway...watch yer mom..chicken soup is good...the steamy salts in the soup open up yer breathing ! Jello's easy on the tummy but not to much because of the sugar factor.
I also took Vit. E, C, A, and D.
I'm back workin' and my ribs are happy again!
The colds are goin' around so she should be ok in time! Try not to
get reinfected yerself though!
