What Should I Do As Mom Inhaled Bleach And Coughing Continually?

Hi, my mom was cleaning with bleach and she accidentally inhaled the bleach fumes. We called poison control and they said to have her sit outside for 15 mins and take a 15 min shower and drink cold water but she is still coughing and she feels like crap? What do i do?
