                        Has she had a CT scan?  My Mom had the same thing and her doc took forever to diagnose her correctly, kept treating her for other things, and finally did a CT scan after 6 months of her coughing and found a large tumor that ended up being lung cancer.  I advise your wife to be very proactive in her healthcare and demand more tests be done to rule out cancer or find it before it can progress further.
