What Could Cause Constant Flu With Low Hemoglobin Level?

Hello.
This is for my mom. She has been suffering from flu since the last five years. She will get flu after taking a shower or night - like anytime. Her nose closes down and she has to breath from her mouth. Why could she possibly have flu all the time?
She is 53 and her menstrual cycle has not closed down either. She has very low blood and hemoglobin level in the range of 6-7. Please suggest what could be done for her.

HI. Flu can not go on for years. This looks that Her low hemoglobin and may be other factors like proteins have lowered her resistance power.
As for the blockage of the nose : there can be a mechanical problem like deviated nasal septum, polypi or a mass in the nose. An examination by an ENT Specialist and CT scan of nose and sinuses will get us the perfect diagnosis.
We have to treat both the conditions.
