I'm really worried about my mom. She's diabetic and has been dealing with a productive cough for the last week. We've been giving her Macpod CV 200 twice a day for five days and there has been some improvement, but I'm wondering what the best medicine would be to help her fully recover?

now ask her to take hot water only. the medicine which she took is best. if it still persists then take tablet. mucinac for 5 days
