It could be worsening of bronchitis or pneumonia anything, but if breathing trouble not subsiding for 3 days,u should hospitalize her. & the other thing that she remains sleepy ,could be a dangerous sign too, as of carbon dioxide retension. Just again consult your chest physician & get indoor treatment if he advices.
