Medications she took: 1. Etophylline and Theosophy (For past two days) Kindly suggest us what could be the reason and solution for her problem.

There are many causes for persistent dry cough. Since your mother has been having it for a month I would suggest to consult a pulmonologist and get investigated. A chest x ray and blood investigations may be required if the doctor who checks her suggests.
