My mother is 50 years old. She suddenly gets continuous cough on some nights. She is having a bout of cough right now. I gave her a piece of onion, heated cloves, chocolate. Nothing has worked. Could you suggest something for immediate relief?
Thank you

Hi,
Your mother needs to be evaluated by her doctor to determine the cause of the chronic cough. Does she suffer from other medical or respiratory conditions, does she smoke and are there any environmental changes that she has been exposed to such as pollen or mold spores? Home remedies may give temporary relief, but you need to find the underlying cause.
