Bad coughing symptoms

2021-05-11 05:56:28
My mother is suffering from GERD.In a recent few days,she coughs badly for long time and also feels short breathedness sometimes.She looks pale and her voice also changes a bit frequently. This is not probably due to covid as she has no fever and none of those other symptoms but it could be due to GERD.Is it really due to gerd and is it harmful?
