Peppermint tea is a bronchiodilator that will open up her chest and head. Chicken soup with lots of garlic (homemade penicillin; garlic also has antibacterial properties). If that fails, feed her the hottest Thai curry or hot wings you can lay hands on. The capsaicin in the chiles will unclog her nose and get everything moving. Plus the endorphin rush will be a serious thrill.

Now, they are awfully strong- they make my eyes water- but they do help a lot with head/nasal congestion. They don't work as well with chest congestion, but it does help break it up enough to feel better.
