hi As your baby is 6 months you can try plain chlorphenaramine drops to relieve congestion.Congestion of nostrils cause block of nose and throat anfd cause the sound when child lies down and disturbs sleep.Best is to use Normal saline drops in the nose along with steam inhalation to relieve congestion
