She's having trouble breathing and nothing is really working so is there anything i can do to help her?

Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

Sinus infection is usually caused due to improper drainage of sinuses leading to pressure headaches and difficulty in breathing. She needs to get appropriate antibiotics to deal with the infection. She can take painkillers for the pain with nasal decongestants to relieve the nasal blockage. She can try steam inhalation for aiding the drainage of sinuses and relief of breathing difficulty.
Thanks.
