Hi,
If she is having significant breathing difficulty and getting weak, I strongly recommend you to take her immediately to emergency department to avoid hypoxia and further worsening.For temporary relief, give her prednisolone 20 mg and inhaled salbutamol (either 2 puffs of MDI or nebulization). If inhaled one is not there, give 5ml of salbutamol oral syrup.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
