My mom's been coughing for 2 weeks or so. She took antibiotics but in vain. Now she's on cortisone treatment. Is it a good idea? She didn't see a dr.

It is time that your mother got examined by a physician and stopped self-prescription of medications. This is a very dangerous practice. A proper examination of the chest and lungs is necessary (listening to the breath sounds). A chest X-Ray may also be necessary.
