Suggest Remedy For Severe Cough And Breathing Problem

Hi doc my sister is 35yrs old and is currently in hospital with severe asthma and lung infection. she had been coughing incessantly for over a week and had to be admitted four days ago coz the cough made it impossible to breathe and she nearly choked a couple of times. All her reports are normal but doctors are unable to diagnose what the priblem is.... she is on direct oxygen support and steroids and the highest dosage of meds... she is too weak to even open her eyes or cough... docs are saying that they have never seen such a case before... she is not an asthma patuent but about ten years ago when she had her second son she had had an asthma attack.but any leafs would be helpful....... i know this may not be much to ho on
