  5. I'm concerned about my 70-year-old mom. She's really sensitive to the cold, and since last week, she's been coughing after showering and sitting under a fast fan. Most of the time, it's a dry cough, but sometimes there's some mucusy spit. She doesn't have a fever, shortness of breath, or feel weak, but I'm worried about whether this needs attention. Should I consider seeing a specialist or doing any tests, especially since she's refusing to visit the doctor? Any advice would really help.
