You may : Add a decongestant and expectorant for a few days in addition to the allergy medicine she is taking. She has to take allergy meds daily until two weeks symptoms free.Drink warm liquids to help thin out the mucus hanging in the back of the throat. If she is wheezing or she develops fever and condition had worsened, she needs to see her doctor.
