Hi, keep her calm and give assurance first
Cough is the most common symptoms of covid infection
During the acute phase and post covid
It will take time to settle
Initially it’s due to covid pneumonia itself and later stage it could be due to the shedding of epithelial lining of lung tissues
She needs so cough suppressant and good breathing pulmonary rehabilitation
