Coughing

I have a friend at work that has a daughter that is 8. She has had a cough that has lasts since august 1 and has been in and out of doctors and still cant find out whats the matter with her? She coughs at any time of the day and its followed with her throwing up. Thay have tested her for acid refux, astma, had a cat scan, and xrays of her lungs. Still nothing they keep putting her on alot of meds, and nothing has worked. Neither of them are getting any sleep because she is up all night. Its even affecting her at school. What suggestions can you give me on what or even where to take her. Thanks

This is now 2016 but I had these issues and it ended up being mold in my walls. A lot of people think you need to see mold, but in small amounts mold spors are translucent and odorless. You only see them when they get really bad, but once you see them that means they are everywhere, and contrary to popular belief you can not clean mold. You have to remove whatever it's on completely. Again i couldnt see mine, but i had to sell my house and it followed me, come to find out my furniture, shoes, clothes, even electronics, everything I owned was contaminated with mold. I had to get rid of everything. If you cant summerge a moldy item in boiling water then you cant save it. I had every symtom from every sickness and i was in and out of the hospital for two years. I went from not being allergic to anything to literrally being allergic to everything. The doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me so they just said I had bad allergies but none of the medicine worked at all. Now I think I've got a hold of my issues, and Ive helped several people, hope to help others.
