Everyday is not ideal . It’s for only when nose is blocked . Any cough which feels like wet cough should be consulted

That gurgling sound can also be due to reflux so burp the child for 30 minutes after each feed so that sounds don't come.
Saline nasal drops however can be used frequently, not an issue with that.
