11 month being sick from cold

My DD is 11 months old and has a rotten cold (tbh we all have)

At night she's particularly bad - you can literally hear the mucas running down her throat, poor thing.

She keeps gagging on it, particularly after a feed. I feed her lying down in bed usually but have been trying to keep her on an incline to help.

She has snuffle babe vapour rub on her chest/feet, calpol diffuser in our room.

Am I missing anything to help her? It's been over a week now.

The only things I would add to your list are snot sucker and trying to make sure she has plenty of fluids as it will thin out the mucous. You can try raising her mattress at one end to get her to sleep at more of an incline but only if you can do it in a way that is stable and safe.
