Brief Answer:
She may need evaluation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.

She needs detailed physical examination & detailed history taking.
Depending upon it further evaluation if needed can be suggested.
Diabetics with uncontrolled blood sugar levels are prone to develop infections especially urinary, skin & ENT infections & pneumonia.

In the presence of other comorbidities like bronchitis better to go ER.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dr Abhay Mali.
