She continues to cough terribly and i can hear the congestion. the doctor has prescribed pediatex td, but its not helping. when she coughs she refuses to "hack" the phlem out saying she can't. the coughing gets so bad she vomits.

It is harder for children to spit out. Try to give him plantain syrup. This is a good expectorant. It works best If in combination with pine or fir shoots.
For my daughter Coltsfoot tea gave good results. In this season I've used it for the first time and I'm satisfied with it.
I wrote an article about herbal cough remedies I tried on my website http://www.self-healing-herbs.com/herbal-cough-remedies.html.
