Usually due weather conditions and baby anatomy the nasal blockage is physiological, you can use nasal saline drops 2 drops before each feeding .
Until you don't have any danger signs like breathing difficulty ,unable to feed ,chest retraction, dull and high grade fever.
So if above signs are not there no need to worry.
