Poorly chicken please advice

[Mariew123]

Hi I have a chicken that started with a grasping cough.....took to vet and treated with 5 days antibiotic....said upper respiratory....i also bought working pellets on line for tapeworm and damatous earth she did eat. She is no better and head raised where she gasping for breathe. I noticed that two swollen pockets near her head part under her wings....please does anyone know to help her and what i should do. Her abdomen is not swollen so no fluid there. She does still eat and drink little

Swelling under wing sounds strange to me. Have you looked closely for any injuries? Is it possible she was attacked by a predator, or even other chickens? I'm no expert, and haven't had to deal with respiratory illness in my chickens, but seems odd that it would cause swelling under the wing. That's why folks are asking for pictures, I think.

What exact product is this?

This needs some clarification...pics might help.
