Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history related to your Mother who is 59 loosing her bowels in the middle of night while sleeping, black fungus on toes and dry cough.
The loosing the control of bowel at night may be due to passage of small amount of feces along with passage of gas or have too much mucus causing this. But on a safer side get her MRI of the lower spine as prolapsed discs can cause this.
The black fungus needs a treatment for 1 year with oral anti-fungal tablets given on weekly basis.
Dry cough if of a long duration must be checked and treated as per the cause. Ask her to take team inhalations and give cough syrup.
