Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. You can start by using a humidifier in the main sleeping area for her and can even start her on a lysine supplement. Check your local pet store for lysine supplementation. Lysine can help lessen the severity of a viral infection. Other than that, if this is due to a virus, it is mainly about treating any secondary bacterial infections with an antibiotic (from the vet) and letting the immune system take care of the viral component of the infection. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
