What could be the cause of chronic cough at night and in early morning? How can I stop the cough?

Thank you for your question. I’m sorry to hear that your mother is suffering from a prolonged and problematic cough which can be a complex condition. Coughing is a reflex that protects your upper airway and lungs from irritants such as excessive mucous and foreign bodies. When persistent, it is often a symptom of a condition, ranging from conditions arising from the nose & sinuses (e. g sensitive nose, sinus infections), lungs (e. g asthma and bronchitis), throat and stomach (e. g. acid reflux from the stomach) to side effects from medications or smoking.

What happens when chronic sinusitis or sinus infections go untreated?

Sinuses are air-filled hollow cavities around the nasal cavity. The lining of the sinuses produces mucus which drains into the nasal cavity. When the sinuses are blocked and not draining, the trapped mucus becomes infected, resulting in sinusitis. The medical term sinusitis refers to inflammation or infection of sinusitis.
