Hi Partha
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
In a person with Bronchial asthma , an upper respiratory tract infection should be treated cautiously , as it could worsen asthma.I advose you to visit your Physician and get her examined.On examination , the severity of infection can be known and thus choice of drugs can be taken.
You can expect your doctor to offer you an antibiotic , an antihistaminic , an inhaler to relieve her symptoms.Prescription of drugs in posts is not accepted by HealthcareMagic.
Take care.
