Aw, poor thing. Feed her a lot (if you're breastfeeding). For bunged up noses you can try snot suckers (aka nasal aspirators) from Boots. Or hot steamy showers/baths can help. And Calpol.

Sure it's not hayfever. My 13mo has a streaming/sniffly nose and itchy skin (so clothes are irritating it). A dose of piriton in the evening and aveeno on her skin seems to be helping massively. You can't give piriton to under 1s though.

I find the nasal spray works quite well before feeding and sleeping
