Congestion in 11 week old baby

My LO and I had a cold (so lovingly brought into the house by her dad) just over a week ago now. In the day time she is fine, all symptoms gone. But from about 1–6am it sounds like she’s got loads of mucus in her nose. Or in her nasal passage/throat that gets in the way when she breathes through her nose (if that makes any sense!)
I’ve tried using a snot sucker and there is nothing in there, I’m wondering if it’s the back end of the cold and dripping down her throat and causing discomfort and blocking a bit when she’s trying to breathe through her nose. She will then try to breathe through her mouth for a bit then her mouth gets dry and she wants her dummy then she gets blocked, dummy comes out. Repeat.

So I’m not sleeping because I’m constantly watching or listening or putting a dummy in or trying to find some way to help her sleep better.

does anyone have any tips or tricks or advice as to how long it takes for this to fully clear for her?

Poor you, we had this. Try steam - put the shower on snd hold her in the steamy bathroom.
