I use the battery powered aspirator by BebeSounds with saline for the congestion. Run the humidifier in her room.

I don't think there is really anything to help at this point. If she gets congested or has trouble breathing, you could use a humidifier. We put a little Vicks Baby rub on DDs chest when she is congested.

Hope she feels better!
