We can't give any kind of emergency advice. You must call 999 or 111. Or your GP if they have late opening or after hours

However, if you have a shower, take her into a steamy shower room ( not under the shower) or get the bathroom really steamy, until you get help.

If im going to boil water and add a little bit of eucalyptus amd let her breath would it help?

Thank you so much for your help

Yes, but not too close to her face. As it can burn.

This is only my own, personal experience, but please be careful with eucalyptus - I know people say it's good for congestion, but it can trigger worse asthma symptoms. I was once offered it by a helpful workmate who knew I had 'breathing difficulties' & the damn stuff half killed me!
