My kid suffering from chronic cough for 4 years

My kid who is turning 5 this week has gone through tough times in last 3 years mostly due to cough, frequent fevers once in 2 weeks and wheezing sometimes.
X-rays show clear chests, he had otis media treated with grommets, Barium investigations revealed GERD, CT scan showed lung collapse and pneumonitis once.
All secondary conditions like otitis media, pneumonia and lungs were treated with allopathy but they could not find the primary causes. All allergy tests could not
find any allergy. Though he is treated for ashthma for 3 years and GERD for 2 months, none of them have stopped the cough or recurring fevers. Fever stops in summer
and returns in winter. Cough never stops. It is mostly consistent dry cough with varying intensity. a few times in 3 years, he had cough with vomiting mostly in the morning.
