Hello,
Thanks for posting,
From the look of things, it is most likely that your mother might be having a chronic lung diseases with the most probable cause being lung cancer or tuberculosis which will require a pulmonologist to confirm after evaluating your mother with laboratory work up, Chest x-ray etc.
I suggest you get your mother see a pulmonologist.
Hope this helps
