Suggest Treatment For Athetoid Cerebral Palsy

My daughter who is 44 years old, who has Spastic/Athetoid cerebral palsy,was diagnosed last Monday,with pneumonia in the lower lobe of her left lung. She is on antibiotics and cough syrup. She still has horrible cough, and starts coughing every time I try to feed her. Do I need to take her back to the doctor, or wait until she finishes taking the antibiotic she is taking now?
