Even in hyper healthy marathon runners.
But there's plenty of things you can do. Alternatively you could just eat something spicy (or actually most food gets my sinuses going, but spicy gets it flowing), which well you can probably just sniff some crush pepper or other as well. You can also work on taking deep breaths when showering. And if you have mucus built up in your throat, gargle some water (and shower head can double as a water pick as well).
If this is too expensive and you already have an electric (probably not a great idea to do this over a gas source) tea pot or other (steam cleaner, clothes iron), plug it in and boil/steam up some water. Just be mindful of how hot that steam can be.
And for the netti pot, you can just cup water (as someone else mentioned, distilled if possible) and snort it (and exhale it, you don't really want to get a lot of water into your lungs, you basically create a push/pull mechanism) or get one of those dropper/plunger (where you squeeze it and it inhales the water) things and spray up in your nose. They also make little squeeze bottles of saline solution to squirt in your nose (I know Wal-Mart carries some under their store brand, its cheap like not even $1 I think?) for on the go relief.
If you're prone to your nose drying out, get a q tip with a bit of vaseline (less is more here) or Vick's (if you're stopped up), or just some oil and work it around your nose a bit. More effective and less prone to getting the Vick's on your clothes/blankets compared to rubbing it on your chest.
Unless they're wiping it down with something that would disinfect its not like wiping it down will do much and that goes extra for anything airborn. Not saying you're not aware of that and its just further reinforcement of how inconsiderate those people are rather than it being about the transference of germs.
I do believe you can find shrouds/hoods to accomplish exactly that, but you really don't even need it, just lean near and breath in as you vent the steam, could throw a towel over your head as you lean over so as to try and concentrate it. But any excess will go towards humidifying the air in general, which has some benefit.
I've actually wondered why someone doesn't make/market like distilled water cartridges to use with vapes for a blast of targeted steam for this exact reason (plus it'd give cover for the addicts that would want to have an excuse to hit their vape). They probably do (have a hunch there's ones with "essential oils" and other supposed health wonders), and if I remember I searched for such and there was something about how the vaping mechanisms are inefficient for this and that it can actually wear them out. But a decent amount of that stuff is straight up disposable now.
I should clarify, I mean pure water, not vape juice as while that probably does help with some relief, the long term impacts of the nicotine and other is not gonna be a positive.

Not impressed with Amazon
Even in hyper healthy marathon runners.
Side note - doing a light workout is helpful when you are sick because it helps your lymphatic system circulate, which helps your immune system.

Not steam, forcibly circulates saline water through your nose and sinuses . what you will see in the waste water the bottom tank, there's always a lot of small particulates and gobs of half dried mucus etc etc
It's such a great product I've never even tried to hack the system and use my own saline solution,, the company deserves every cent they make on this device. not everyone gets as stuffed up as I do, but speaking for myself, the affect afterwards is calm peaceful relief. I'm pretty sure if your sinuses are stuffed and it's more labor to breath air, that your mind and body puts you on edge until you clean your sinuses out. then afterwards, more energy, more happiness and contentment.

A simple squat with whatever weight you can handle can clear up that nasal. Yes temporary it'll fix it.. Just like how this Sinus Steam Inhaler will temporarily fix your nasal passage way also.
Might mention to her there is a vaccine this year for RSV.
