A cold in a breastfeeding mother can be effectively alleviated with the use of preparations available in online and stationary pharmacies. Choosing the offer of an online pharmacy allows you to compare prices and order the preparation with home delivery or personal collection at the pharmacy.
For nasal congestion, you can use preparations with a strong decongestant effect, containing, for example, xylometazoline or oxymetazoline. These are m.in:
Sudafed Xylospray HA:

Nasivin Classic:

These preparations should be used with caution, 2-3 times a day for a short time.
You can also use hypertonic sea waters that reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa, such as:
Ectorhin:

Hypertonic Marimer:

Hypertonic sea water can be used 2-3 times a day.
In addition, you can rinse your sinuses using kits such as:
Fixsin:
Zatoxin Rinse:
You can use Ectimer multiple times a day, among other preparations:

A green runny nose can result from mucus in the sinuses. Cleaning the nose should change the color of the runny nose.
If you do not improve within 3-5 days or you experience additional symptoms (such as fever), I encourage you to consult a doctor. You can also take advantage of a teleconsultation via e.g. the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
