Nasal saline: Use nasal saline, encourage fluids, monitor her temperature. Consider COVID and flu screening. Keep her at an upright position to avoid post nasal drip.

Nasal wash: At 15 weeks the primary cause of congestion and cough is the environment. House dust, fragrance, perfumes and cleaning products all leave scents that irritate a babies nose. A good nasal clean out with saline can remove much of this irritant load, but removing the offending irritants helps more in the long run.If she is not otherwise sickly you can monitor this at home.
