Oh no, no no. Cold water is the last thing you want. It will constrict the "tubes" which you breathe through. I used to do the oppisite when I would have attacks, that is either drink warm liquids, or stand in a room with the shower on as hot as possible.
I can't honestly think of anything you can do to help her in the middle of the woods without supplies. I would simply suggest her lying on her back and try to calm down. Often, the mental anxiety of not being able to breathe compounds the physical problem. I would rag on her for being unprepaired and without her inhailer. She may not think it's very seriouse, but trust me, coming from someone who has been to the hospital many times, blue in the face, IT IS>
