Doctor can evaluate: A person in her 80's should be evaluated by her doctor to make sure she does not have pneumonia, if she has cough and cold symptoms. It's mainly an age issue. At that age, she can get really sick quickly. Also, her prescribing doctor can discuss which cold meds might be safer, and which might be too sedating or alter her thinking.
