If she develops breathing difficulty, take her to a hospital. She may take acetaminophen/paracetamol for pain/ache. No more than 4 g in a day, no alcohol. Keep her hydrated with water juice etc. Vapor or steam inhalation may help in clearing out the phlegm in her airways. She could try a mucolytic like Mucinex. Wish you and your mother good health!

Discuss Monoclonal antibody treatment and Paxlovid or another antiviral agent soon with your physician. When administered in the early course, effective in preventing worsening. Watch for signs of shortness of breath, worsening cough. Please have a Flu and COVID-19 vaccination.
