That sounds like a big boa.
.
Here's the deal.. it's practically impossible to diagnose and treat a Boa online and I don't blame anybody for not wanting to jump in and offer advice.
.
In my opinion you shouldn't medicate the Boa unless you take it to a veterinarian and a specific bacterial contagion is identified. In the meantime I would make sure the animal had access to a hot-spot (substrate heat is best) of 95 (f) and of course a large enough enclosure that it can escape that heat and seek the temperature it wants. Contrary to what you may have heard it is my belief that water and humidity should NOT be kept form Boas with possible respiratory infections or distress, so I suggest you do give the boa water.
.
If the symptoms persist or get worse take the boa to a qualified veterinarian.
.
That's my advice.
