An infant with a cold?

I feel sooo bad, but i got a little cold and passed it on to my DS. He is still in good spirits, but his nose is stuffy and he keeps sneezing. He is 4 months.

Is there anything i can do to help him. I really don't want to go to the doctor since i don't think its anything too severe.

Put saline drops in his nose then go right into the bathroom, turn the hot taps on and sit on the toilet with him.
Pat his back, near his lungs to loosen the mucous. Come out and suction his nose.


Humidifier at night and if he can sleep upright (swing/ bouncy) even better.
