When travelling by plane, especially take offs and landing, she struggles to breath.what must i buy or what must she do?

Tricky: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, lung disease is made worse with the lower pressure and lower oxygen of the airplane. Oxygen tanks, other compensations can be arranged. Or... can be anxiety if someone doesn't have lung disease.
