Hi,thanks for query.Sorry dear without examination in this case drugs can not be given.You should take her to a chest physician who will after evaluation will give some medicines that will definitely help her.Normally in this kind of cases steroid is the main stay of treatment.Which needs proper follow up with the chest physician.Please also ask your doctor about breathing exercise that she needs to do at home so as to help her.
wishing her good health.
