Colds can be tough to get rid of and sometimes symptoms linger. That is especially true for a Virginia girl who kicked the cold, but can't stop sneezing.

Lauren Johnson's unusual case has doctors baffled. Her mother has taken her to six doctors and a hypnotherapist. Lauren has tried 11 prescriptions, but still the sneezing continues.  

Her mother estimates Lauren  sneezes 12,000 times a day.

One of the doctors said the condition might be a psychogenic disorder triggered by stress.
