Your mom is on a lot of medicines amd i really dont know what they have been given for?
You said she had pulmonary edema however all the treatment here as u said is not directed towards edema but asthma.
Wysolone 40 mg BD is too high a dose for anyone to tolerate and IF it is a pulmonary edema then there are no diuretics added.
Kindly share the reports and the diagnosis and then the treatment so that we know exactly what we are dealing with
