Better to take her to a physician and check cbc crp and X-ray chest if necessary

Hi dont worry .. I would suggest a blood test - complete blood count and a chest xray After seeing the result we will decide the treatment kindly update about the symptoms Is the cough producing sputum? If sputum present what is the colour Is she having throat pain or ear ache Is there any difficulty in breathing

It is not advisable to take sinarest for more than 5 days especially in an 80 year old.Kindly consult directly for detailed  assessment and management and prescription

Do consult

At elderly the immune system is naturally weaker normal cold cough can turn into other respiratory infection Sinarest provide relief in upper respiratory tract infection Since it has provided no relief after 7 days, the underlying cause could be  bacterial infection requiring antibiotics, or an inflammation of the lower airway is also possible

Do a test for influenza if she has not taken the influenza vaccine. If it is negative then you have nothing to worry about. Take Azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 3 days. Take Dextromethorphan cough syrup like below: Benadryl DR Syrup (100 ml): Around ₹138 Cofsils Dry Cough Syrup (100 ml): Around ₹97.50 Alkof DX Syrup (100 ml): Around ₹61 to ₹80 Zeet 12 Syrup: Around ₹73 Lastuss LA Syrup (60 ml): Around ₹33 to ₹36

Get a cbc ,crp done Could be viral illness Which may worsen as old age a bit immunocompromised Seek urgent medical attention if respiratory distress present or persistent fever

At the age of 80 continuous cough and cold requires further evaluation as elderly people are more susceptible to infection because of less immunity.

Can help you, kindly consult and provide detailed history for proper diagnosis and further management

At the age of 80 and continuous cough and cold with no relief to over the counter tablets would require much more examination… it could be flu but do consult a physician. To understand exactly what’s causing it… we require few blood tests and chest x ray

A cough and cold lasting 7 days with no relief from cinarest and cough syrup, at your age, usually means the infection needs a proper check-up rather than more over-the-counter medicine. It could be a viral infection taking its usual course, or it could be an early chest infection, which needs a doctor to examine your chest and oxygen levels directly.
