Patting on the back, what is referred to as tapotement, helps loosen the phlegm in a person's lungs. If they have pneumonia or other condition that causes congestion, this will help them clear out their lungs. If the cause of the congestion is unknown, then a visit to the doctor would be a good idea. Be sure to ask them if it is OK to do patting on their back.
