Continuous cough problem
Hi, my mother age is 65 and she is having a continuous cough even though she has tried different medicine and cough syrup suggested by different doctors. Sometimes she used to take the inhaler prescribed by the doctor. But still she faces the cough problem. Please suggest some medical tests so that I can get this checked properly. Also if any medicine and cough syrup which can help her. I would focus more on complete tests to find further problems, so that i can get this checked.
Thanks
