If there is fever and breathlessness and condition is worsening you should consult the physician. If she is moving about normally and able to do her normal routine work you may try the same medication which she took. You did not mention whether there is any cough, sputum, chest pain, running nose or nasal stuffiness. if there is aggravation and no improvement she should consult doctor.
