Brief Answer:
Give her N acetyl cystine tablet and bronchorex syrup.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
So basically you need cough expectorant tablet and syrup.
N acetyl cystine (NAC) is best oral expectorant. In XXXXXXX it is available with brand names like Mucinac, luminac, mucovisc etc.
For syrup, bromhexine and ambroxol containing syrups are very good expectorants.
Commonly available brand names are bronchorex, Brozedex, Aerodil etc.
If they are not available over the counter then better to consult doctor and get prescription.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
