Cough from a week

2017-09-18 18:02:05
My mom is coughing frequently ( once in every hour approx ) since last 7 days, cough lasts for about 20 secs to1 minute every time. It sounds like a wet cough, she spits out phlegm everytime there is a cough. She takes adequate fluids with ginger/ lemon etc daily. She is not willing to consult the doctor as problem is not that big. Please advice if any medication is needed for this. Any syrup or tonic would help to cure this soon? Thanks in advance
