Is there a good way for a baby to unblock their nose?

Patient's question:

My daughter has had a stuffy nose for fifty-four days, and it has been over twenty days. When I went to the doctor, they said it's nothing! In the past, her nose would clear up in warm places, but recently, even in warm places, it still doesn't clear up. She can't breathe through her nose while nursing, and she keeps choking! During the stuffy nose period, she had a high fever for two days, but it went away after taking fever-reducing medicine! These days, her stuffy nose has caused her throat to make a rattling sound! It's heart-wrenching to see her like this! Is there any good solution?

Doctor's answer:

The baby's condition is likely caused by catching a cold due to cold exposure, which has led to nasal congestion. The baby is currently less than two months old, and its respiratory system is still underdeveloped, which may result in this phenomenon recurring. It is best to avoid medication as much as possible. You can cut a thin slice of ginger and apply it to the baby's soles and palms in a clockwise direction. This can help dispel wind-cold and alleviate the baby's nasal congestion and discomfort.
