4 week old with a cold - what can I do to help / make him feel better

H seems to be coming down with a cold - he's very sniffly / mucusy and has a runny nose,

is there anything I can give him to help with his breathing? He seems ok in himself, just a big more clingy but I'm worried about him not being able to breathe properly or choking.

    A had this 2 weeks ago and there's not a lot they can have, saline nasal drops or spray are good. We used Nasosal. Raised mattress in crib helped her sleep, and you can buy a little snot sucker thing in boots to clear their little noses.

    I also did this, and  sat her in the bathroom in her chair while I had a shower.

    Prop up the head end of his cot/moses basket. Can also put baby albus oil on cot sheet or on a muslin near him. Poor poppet its horrible when they're snuffly x
