Answers:

well sometimes if you have a serious cold it over stays its welcome.it's nothing to worry about too much. it sounds like she has nasal and chest congestion. have her drink lots of tea. an make sure she inhales the steam from the tea or anything else. there are things such as vapor creams and other things that you can buy for a few dollars at any drug store that help clear nasal and chest congestion fast. make sure she gets a lot of sleep so she can save up her energy. you have to make sure she is eating healthy. soup and broth is great [ no creamy soups] and you need her to get something solid down so also give her a piece or toast. if she wants to she can take medicine. if you are already doing this or did this and it didn't work, call the family doctor and make an appoitment ASAP or if she is too weak to get out of the house ask him to make a house call.

i hope this helpes and your mother's health is returned to her soon!!!!
