Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of viral upper respiratory tract infection (URI) and post infectious bronchitis is more. URI is causing loss of hearing, voice difficulty, swallowing difficulty etc. And bronchitis is causing breathing difficulty. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system. She will need antibiotic, antihistamine and inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Don't worry, with proper treatment, she will be alright in 1-2 weeks. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your sister. Thanks.
