My 15 day old is congested and has green snot. seems to be eating ok and sleeping ok. should i be concerned?

No: Most newborns have some nasal congestion. And, as you said your child is acting and eating normally. You can use saline nasal spray and a nasal aspirator to help alleviate the congestion. However, i would only do that if your child is not feeding or sleeping well.
