How long will congestion last?

my DD is 3 weeks old and has nasal congestion for about 5 days now, we're doing all we can, saline spray, aspirator, propping up and steam, but there is no improvement and she is having a very hard time sleeping and feeding, yesterday she was awake most of the day and night and had loads of little feeds and today I can't wake her up long enough to get a good feed in. It is also taking ages to feed her cause she keeps gagging and a good bit of her feeds comes back up so I try and wind her as often as I can, but she still can bring it back up, it's hard to see her so uncomfortable!

How long can this type of congestion last and when should we consider bringing her to the doctor??

Look foward to hearing everyones views on this my 8 week old has terrible congestion during the night and wakes up as its all gurgling he settles when we sit him upright or nurse him on our chests. Hope that your DD's clears up soon
