How to treat infant nasal congestion effectively

Patient's question:

My baby is two months old, and she has had a stuffy nose for a month. When she feeds, she makes some snoring sounds, but she sleeps normally during her nap. There is no mucus, but there is a small amount of discharge in her nasal cavity every day. In the past half month, she has been choking on milk, about twice a day, especially when lying flat while playing. Occasionally, she has a light cough, and I thought it was due to saliva aspiration. Other than that, she feeds well, sleeps normally, and is in good spirits. The only issue is that she chokes easily and doesn't have a fever. Could it be pneumonia?

Doctor's answer:

Dear Consultee,
According to your description, it is recommended that you take your child to the respiratory clinic for a follow-up visit. The doctor will conduct a detailed physical examination and relevant tests to clarify your child's condition. Based on the test results, the doctor will provide symptomatic treatment. Please actively cooperate with the treatment as advised by the doctor. Wishing your little one a speedy recovery.
Apply a warm towel to the affected area for cold compress. If the condition does not stabilize, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
