Persistent cough issues, particularly when accompanied by phlegm as in your mother’s case, may often relate to Kapha dosha imbalance, while your father’s dry cough might indicate an imbalance with Vata. Here are some ayurvedic insights and remedies which may support easing their symptoms.
For your mother, consider introducing a simple home remedy: warm water infused with a pinch of turmeric and ginger. Mix 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder and 1/2 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger in a glass of warm water. Let her sip this mixture twice a day. This combination is thought to bolster her immune system and clear the mucus through Kapha pacification. Warm liquids in general can be helpful, so ensure hydration through herbal teas or warm soups. Consumption of honey, about a teaspoon, with a pinch of black pepper could also provide relief. Honey shouldn’t be consumed if there’s any existing throat irritation, thou.
Your father might benefit from moistening the dry cough. Give him a concoction of warm milk with a small pinch of nutmeg and a few drops of clarified butter (ghee). Encourage him to have this before bedtime; it can be soothing for a Vata-related dry cough. A herbal tea with licorice root could help—steep a small piece of licorice root in hot water and allow him to drink this once or twice a day.
Besides these remedies, they should both avoid cold, heavy, and oily foods which may aggravate their conditions. Steer clear of dairy, except for the recommended warm milk, as it might increase mucus production. Regular steam inhalation, once a day, can loosen and help clear the airways, providing them with more comfort in breathing. It’s crucial they avoid exposure to smoke, dust, and pollution as much as possible.
If any symptoms worsen or persist, it’s essential to have a follow-up with their doctor. Combining Ayurvedic approaches with their current medical treatments may help them recover more comprehensively.

HELLO SUMEDH,
Your parents have a lingering cough after infection- you mothers is with phlegm and your father’s is dry.
This difference gives us two classic ayurvedic condition
MOTHER (65 year)= cough with mucous -kaphaja kasa
FATHER (70 year)= dry , irritating cough- vataja kasa
WHAT’S HAPPENING After a cold or throat infection, the body’s airway linings remain inflamed and sensitive -For your mother, the body keeps. producing excess mucous, which collects in the chest and throat, causing a heavy cough and phlegm -For your father, the airways have become dry and irritated (vata imbalance )- the mucous lining that normally lubricats the throat is depleted, leading to dryness and a constant urge to cough
WHY IT’S NOT GOINT AWAY 1)Weak digestion -> incomplete elimination to toxins -> mucus buildup or dryness 2) CLIMATE (cool, damp, or polluted air) aggravates cough 3) INCOMPLETE RECOVERY after antibiotics-> residual irritation 4) AGE FACTOR- > lowered immune and lung strength 5) DIETARY TRIGGERS-> cold milk, curd, banana, stale or fried food

HONEY-GINGER MIX (for dry cough) 1/2 tsp ginger juice+1 tsp honey-> take slowly twice daily
TURMERIC MILK take before bed for bath
FOR PHLEGM Add a pinch of Trikatu churna in honey once daily to digest mucus
DIET
AVOID (both) -cold drinks, ice cream, curd, banana, guava -fried , stale, or heavy oily oods -overnight food and leftover rice -talking too much during coughing bouts

ONCE COUGH REDUCES= START THIS
-CHYAWANPRASHA= 1 tsp every morning- for both
-TALISADI + SHITOPALADI CHURNA= only if mild seasonal cough recur
Continue warm water sipping habit long term
This condition is self limiting but slow to resolve in older adults because -the lung tissues are delicate -immunity is lower and -post infectious airway inflammation lingers
Ayurveda focuses not just on stopping the cough but restoring balace- healing digestion, strengthening the lungs, and preventing relapse
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Phlegm and dry cough, especially in your parents’ age group, indicate an imbalance in the body’s kapha and vata doshas. Ayurveda recognizes that phlegm is a sign of aggravated kapha, while dry cough points toward a vata imbalance. To help their condition, you can try some Ayurvedic remedies that focus on balancing these doshas and aiding the body’s natural healing process.
For your mother, a simple home remedy is to prepare a mixture of ginger, honey, and black pepper. Ginger helps dissolve the phlegm while honey soothes the throat, and black pepper has anti-inflammatory properties. You can make a paste by crushing a small piece of ginger with a pinch of black pepper, and mixing it with a teaspoon of honey. Let her take this twice daily.
In your father’s case, dryness can be countered by warming and moisturizing. A decoction made by boiling licorice root (mulethi) in water can be effective. Add a teaspoon of crushed licorice to a cup of water and boil until it reduces to half. Let it cool to warm, and have him sip twice daily. This helps lubricate the throat and alleviate dryness.
Both of them can benefit from turmeric milk, which has anti-microbial attributes that also boost immunity. Add a pinch of turmeric to a cup of warm milk before bedtime.
Ensure they avoid cold and heavy foods that can worsen coughing, such as processed foods or cold drinks. Steam inhalation with a few drops of eucalyptus oil could also provide relief from congestion.
If the cough persists despite these remedies, or if any symptoms worsen, it’s crucial to follow up with their physician. Persisting symptoms, especially in elderly patients, can sometimes signal a more serious issue that requires further investigation.
