Lots of info missing

Right off the bat I would say get her a cough suppressant/ NyQuil to help with symptoms

Obesity makes breathing harder ESPECIALLY when sick, so just because she’s having trouble doesn’t mean it’s life threatening. Still it sucks, and it’s hard to watch.

If she’s lying in bed make sure her head is elevated(helps with breathing) Continue to monitor breathing. If it gets very shallow and wheezy go to the doctor IMMEDIATELY.

If she has asthma and has an inhaler 100% use it. Will open the lungs up. Either way, make sure she remains calm and keeps breathing as deeply and as controlled as possible. Panic makes it much worse, so keep it light with her.

  1. Get cough under control
  2. Monitor breathing
  3. Take some vitamin C supplements (I recommend airborne) to potentially help you not get sick/ help your bodies fight it off.
  4. If it gets worse go into the doctor
  5. If you have some covid tests use them. Obesity is a comorbidity and makes covid more likely to do serious damage.

Really hope she feels better and you don’t get sick op.

Wayyy too much info missing, one of which is previous history

If she’s had asthma she should be taking abuderol and poss a steroid.

If she has chest pain she should go to hospital

If it’s shallow sharp breaths she should be heading to the hospital.

Lots of unknowns here , hopefully she feels better!

My first thought isn’t Covid with only one symptom… god this world
