This could be any number of respiratory ailments including general allergy, asthma, bronchitis, or even pneumonia.  It is very important for your wife to follow up with your primary care physician and inform this doctor that the antibiotics didn't work for her.  She may need a chest x-ray. In the meantime, there are many over the counter natural cough remedies with wild cherry bark, for instance; vitamin C, quercetin, and nettles could be used if this is allergy; most importantly check with your Doc right away.                Sincerely,
