Hello and Congratulations to your mom on her recovery.
This issue that she is having with regard to incessant coughing is a very common sequelae among patients recovering from Covid 19,because of the residual lung damage that's left behind,which will clear out with time. Hence don't panic .
Assuming what you have said is correct and she doesn't have any other symptoms like Fever. It's probably a harmless issue which can be controlled by simple medications.
Please enroll in a proper Post Covid Follow Up program,where repeat investigations are mandated,given the fact that in the Post Covid period the body is very susceptible to catch infections,more so in case of your mother,cause of her age.
Next Steps
-Tab . BILAGRA M,one tab at bed time for 10 days
-Syr Macbery DX 10ml ,three times a day for 7days
- Inhaler FORACORT 400,2puffs twice a day at 8am and 8pm ,with ZERO STAT VT spacer ,to be continued (Please don't ignore this advice. This is the most important medication given her disease.)
-Tab Pantoprazole 40,1 tab once daily ,at break fast
Investigation for post covid follow up:
-Blood for CBC with ESR, Sodium/Potassium,Urea/Creatnine, PT/INR ,D Dimer, Ferritin,CRP
- Repeat Chest X ray (PA view)
Regards.
