Is there anything I can do?

Hi all.
FTM here, baby girl born 10/1.
For the past (almost) week, she has has some nasal congestion. She still eats and poops/pees, and sleeps well. HOWEVER, the sound of her congestion is killing me. She doesn't show signs of struggle, but I know breathing could be easier for her. I have cut dairy out of my diet (yesterday), used the nose frieda, bought her a humidifier, and have sprayed her nostrils with infant saline.
How long does this typically last? Is there anything else I could be doing? My doctoe zaid to just let it run its course, but I'm having problems doing so.

Thanks!
Chloe

    You're doing all you can do. It's normal and she will be fine, just keep her doctor informed especially if you notice any changes. :)

    Thank you! Have you experienced this? How long does this stuff usually last? I hate it.

    You did a great job in making all the right adjustments as a first move! These changes take time though, and if your doc doesn't have any red flags then it's worth taking a deep breath and waiting to see if it works. Keep her/him informed if there's no progress later or worsening, but most importantly, don't turn yourself into a mess worrying. That rattle could be it loosening up.

    Edited for addition -
    My SS always seems to be a bit worse for an hour before a good sneeze (or 3) kicks out everything from the meds and saline I gave him the night before.

    It got better for like a day and then last night, the sound of her breathing got worse. I'm freaking out. I didn't think this is the type of thing to get worse before it gets better.
