Question 3

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been coughing for a few days now, and nothing seems to be helping. We've tried both grillinctus and coffdryl, and even a ginger molasses mix, but her cough isn't getting any better. Do you have any advice or recommendations on what might help her get some relief?
