Help! What’s wrong with my chicken!

I haven’t treated canker before, but her case looks pretty serious. The canker can invade the esophagus and crop wall. I would try to clean out the left nostril so that she could breathe easier. You can use a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide on a QTip to help soften the nostril gunk. Then try to use a wooden toothpick or orange stick to gently dig the material out. Try to not damage the beak or nostril. Here is an article to look at:

I tired to clean the nostril with hydrogen peroxide, but it is not softening it. I was able to clean out some chunk of the gunk. I will continue to do that, hopefully she can make it til the medication arrive, and I hope no one else is gonna be sick. 😖😖😖 Thank you for your help.
 
update: sadly, she past away ☹️☹️. I have an Easter Egger that’s also sick. She is already isolated and on metronidazole for 5 days, it seems like the gunk is slowly clearing up, but I don’t think she will be heal by day 7. The rest of the flock is on acidified copper sulfate since Saturday. Anything else I can do?
