Absolutely. She should be seen if she is having shortness of breath because she may need inhaled medications or be having a further exacerbation of her bronchitis.
Hello,
Yes absolutely! The mucus in her lungs and the inflammation from bronchitis is causing her to have shortness of breath. She needs breathing treatments. Such as albuterol or duoneb/ combivent. Also I courage her to cough to bring all those secretions up. Make sure she is well hydrated.
Thank you
