Symptom management tips for Parkinson's cough and Respiratory dyskinesia

Hello! My wife has Parkinson's Disease and related dementia. One of her symptoms includes periodic bouts of Parkinson's cough and respiratory dyskinesia when her meds are being less effective. Given her length of time dealing with this disease, her meds have become increasingly less reliable. So, does anyone have any tips for how they've successfully helped to manage Parkinson's cough and/or respiratory dyskinesia?

Many thanks!
