The description you provided suggests that the baby might have a cold. If there is no cough and bowel movements are normal, you can increase fluid intake and carefully monitor the situation. It is not severe at the moment, so medication may not be necessary. Increase fluid intake and carefully monitor—generally, it takes about a week for gradual recovery. The baby's nasal passages are narrow with rich capillaries, making them prone to congestion and bleeding when they have a cold. Cold (local cold application) to the nose before feeding can help alleviate the issue and ensure the baby can feed without difficulty. If there is nasal discharge, it is beneficial; if there is congestion, it may not be effective. You can try it, but if it doesn't help, stop using it. Repeatedly blowing the nose can also worsen congestion.
