Hi,
If she is having sever breathing difficulty and is weak/lethargic, kindly take her to emergency department immediately to avoid hypoxia.
For temporary relief, give her 20mg prednisolone tab now and take inhaled salbutamol(MDI) that you might be having with you- 2puffs 5 minutes apart.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK
