For a medical emergency you can take the payient to a hospital where a local doctor would be able to first diagnose the cause of her pneumonia.
This is to be followed up with the treatment for that specific cause of pneumonia.
He may also help with a few medicines for control of the symptom of cough though I would suggest that the treating doctor is the best judge on medicines required for managing someone’s cough.
Hope your mom gets well soon.
Best wishes.
