Ask her to wear a mask whenever she is awake anytime at home or outside. Protein rich diet like milk, Eggwhite,Ragi and jowar roti are helpful.

Hi lybrate-user kindly mention if your mother is suffering from any other problem like diabetes, hypertension etc. And do you have children less than 6 years old in your house. Keep Your mother in a well ventillated room and ensure proper disposal of the sputum. Thanks.
