Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms,
Your daughter seems to be suffering from a severe allergic reaction since she is suffering from difficulty to breath .
This is a possible side effect of cefdinir but it needs to be treated urgently to avoid the side effect of anaphylactic shock.
You need to stop the cefdinir and please take her to the hospital as soon as possible to receive dexamethasone and avil injections to abort the allergic reaction.
I hope I answered your question. if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion .
