Infant saline drops in his nose, Nose Frida suction, cool mist humidifier in his room while he sleeps, baby Vicks, elevate one end of his mattress.

The mattress really worked for my LO once when he was sick. 

Another trick is running a really hot shower and letting the bathroom get all steamy and then take the baby in there and just sit in the steamy bathroom for a bit, then try suctioning out his nose after that.

I've never tired the mattress trick either, and I guess I am just worried that he will just roll to the side not elevated, and it wil defeat the whole purpose of elevating one side.. Has this happend to anyone, or am I just way overthinking it?
