No, the beclomethasone will not make her asthma worse. It works as a "preventer" and may take a week or two before you start to notice any improvement in her symptoms. It would be unwise to stop.
To relieve her symptoms has she got a "reliever" inhaler such as Ventolin or albuterol? An antihistamine tablet may also help eg. cetirizine.
Good luck.
