if your grandmother's cough has changed from dry to "productive" (that is she is coughing up gunk from her lungs) then i'd suggest you take her back to the doctor. older people are more susceptible to getting pneumonia so you'll want to have a doctor rule that out. if your grandmother is running a fever (101f or higher) you should seek immediate medical attention at an urgent care facility or the emergency room. this combination of symptoms could signal an infection -- again like pneumonia. meanwhile try to help your grandmother stay hydrated by encouraging her to drink fluids. good hydration will help keep those secretions thinner and less sticky so she can cough them up more easily. if your grandmother is being treated for high blood pressure or congestive heart failure don't push an extreme amount of fluids. in general several glasses of water a day should be all right though. wishing you both the best!
my grandma has had a cough for a few weeks should i have her see a doctor? . it started as a dry cough but now it sounds like shes coughing up something. she went to the dr a couple weeks ago and got cough syrup but it didnt help.
