Try using the neilmed sinus rinse. It will help flush out the sinuses and can prep your nose for use of an inhaled medication like fluticasone (Flonase). Guaifenesin can help make mucous more runny, but you need to be hydrated for it to work. When people are really sick in the hospital, I sometimes give them a vibratory PEP therapy device like this one to help break up thick mucous.
As you said, smoking will make things worse. I recommend checking out the handout provided by the AAFP for good tips on quitting.
Not an HVAC person, nor a doctor, but I am an allergy sufferer that lives in Texas.
Allergies suck here. Come up to D/FW and you'll think you are going to die. Nice air filters and room air purifiers can help, but you'll never create the "clean room environment" you think you will.
Here are things I would try/check:
Get a good allergen reducing pillow case like this:

and a good mattress cover like this:

Those two things will do tons more than the air filters.
Reduce or remove strong scents from the house (candles, scented plug ins, etc) as well as from detergents (try All free and clear). Try cleaning with "green" cleaning products, like any of the stuff from Mrs. Myers instead of the standard stuff. It takes a bit more elbow grease, but it can really help if you have respiratory issues.
If all else fails, buy some Flonase and use it reguarly (every day, even if no symptoms that day) during your bad allergy season:

It will take anywhere from about 3 days to a week to build of effectiveness after you start using it, but it generally will help almost anyone (I'm not a doctor, I have no idea what it will do to your girlfriend, check it out with a doctor if you aren't sure).
Good luck.
