What Causes Severe Bronchial Inflammation?

My daughter has had asthma type symptoms for an extended period of time. It s been a year, it s getting worse and dr says they need to do more tests. She needs her inhaler every day, throughout the day. Dr has ruled out asthma and says her bronchial are very inflamed and damaged from prolonged inflammation. Both of my parents had collagen diseases and her dr is testing her for this now too. I don t understand the lack of diagnosis. Does it sound significant of anything you know?
