Best medicine is in Ayurved. "64 Prahari Pipal" from Dabur and Baidyanath. Consume a pinch with honey, three times a day. Success gauranteed. Instant effect in case of kids. Believe me it works wonders. Do not hurry up, it will take atleast 1 month to rid of the problem completely.

A three (3) table spoon full of honey in a cup of warm water is the best alternative medicine for a chronic cough.

There is a time for alternative and a time for traditional medicine. A chronic cough is NOT the time for alternatives. She needs a physician and probably a chest x-ray.

I would suggest taking garlic pills 3 times a day, and vitamin C (1000mg) 3 times a day for the lungs. My mom makes us garlic sandwiches when we have a really bad cough: fresh garlic minced on a piece of bread. You eat it really fast cause it tastes a bit strong. Acidophiles is great to build up the immune system, and has no side effects and is completely safe, and is great to offset the strain antibiotics put on the body. Go on google and ask about homeopathic cures for lungs and you'll see some of what I have here. Also, hot water and apple cider vinegar with real honey will abate coughing, but is not a cure. I suggest a second opinion with a lung specialist too.

Neem is very effective. Prepare a glass of juice by grinding leaves and adding warm water to it. Drink it and vomit artificially. Do it in morning. Cough will get eliminated.
Avoid fatty,oily, spicy, cold, sour and stale foods; milk and it's products; sugars and rice.
Use steamed or roasted pulses (horsegram, moong etc), leafy vegitables and roti.
If there is attack at night and can't sleep, boil a glass of water and tea powder one spoon. Drinking it warm will stop coughing with good sleep.

Chronic cough can cause, lower respiratory tract infection, if that is the case it is treated with antibiotics.
Most infections do not get cured on there own, specially in young and old people.

if salt is not a nutrition problem
keep a salt shaker handy, and a glass of cold water. When a coughing spell begins shake a little salt into the palm of the hand, lick it, and follow with water.

Absolute first is to have her rechecked to be sure she doesn't still have some infection. I suspect she does if her cough continues. And it could be something more serious. Get her checked by a pulmonologist.
Good luck.
