HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your daughter looking to the history given here the chances of allergic reaction is very likely that must be causing the shortness of breath, this is very common condition seen in the young age, if I would be a her physician then I would try the steroid in this case and the best choice would be "Tab Dexamethasone 4 mg three times in day for thee days" then reducing the dose after third day by 4 mg every after third day, take care and have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
