Detailed Answer:
Hello Ahumanick,

Thank you for posting your query. I have read it, and understand your concern for your daughter.

Yes, you can give your daughter two capsules of NyQuil. Since she weighs 140 lbs, it would not cause any harm to her. Please do not give more than 6 capsules of it in 24 hours.

Along with it, please give her steam inhalation thrice daily.

Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Regards,
Dr Shanthi E
