Cats commonly get sick from feline upper respiratory complex. This is often initiated by a viral infection but can progress to a bacterial infection.

If you think the problem is in her chest or the cough is the main clinical sign then my concerns would be for a developing pneumonia or feline asthma. This is more serious.
