Hello,I can understand how distressing your mother's cough is. My opinion is that a proper diagnosis should be made rather than give her some home remedy like ginger and pepper etc.There are some medicines given to people with diabetes , heart disease and kidney problems which can produce a hacking cough. If you let me know your mother's medicines, I can tell you if any of them is responsible.You are welcome to contact me for any further query.Dr. Noble Zachariah
