What Is The Remedy For The Sore And Swollen Throat With Cough?

My daughter is ill with a cough that started with a sore throat. Today, she was outside in the cold and she began to cough so hard that she felt like her throat was swollen and she couldn't breathe. She had to come in, drink water, and relax to be able to breathe again. Should I be concerned?
