Needs evaluation: could be an infection, like pneumonia. Call your pediatrician or see a doctor at an local care facility for evaluation and treatment.

Could be : asthma, bronchitis or pneumonia. Emergent evaluation would be wise!

Shortness of Breath: The symptoms you describe could be a pneumonia or bronchitis or several other diagnosis. Since I don't know how short of breath she is, if she has a fever, etc. I would recommend she be seen right away, meaning tonight. Especially since you said ASAP.
