How Can Chronic Cough Be Treated?

My wife has had cronic cough for over a year. Been to several doctors for a long time they were telling her she had a sinus drainage problem. Nothing prescribed has worked. Last week she went to throat specialist and he diagnosed her with silent acid reflux (LPD). Prescribed Nexum 4 times a day. We re into 3 weeks and she still coughes to the point of wearing her out. Do you have any suggestions?
