hi welcome to hcm
as your history and your childs symptoms ithink you child might be also an asthmatic and she may also require nebulistion with levolin andbudecort in addition to any antibiotics she might be receiving so nebulise her with above drugs sothat wheeze and breathlessness may subside and then u can take her to an hospital for further evaluation
