One of the best therapies for supporting the immune system is rubbing castor oil on her tummy, covering with a cloth, and a heating source (herbal pack, hot water bottle, or heating pad) before bed. The warm castor oil will seep through the skin and stimulate the gut-associated-lymphoid tissue (GALT) to produce more white blood cells. Also, warming sock and other constitutional hydrotherapies can help.
You can read more about these natural therapies on many websites, including my own. However, she may need additional nutritional, or supplemental treatments, depending upon your and her history. So, seek the advice of a trained health care professional for help.
