He can't even breathe through his nose - the only thing I can give him is saline drops right?  Any other remedies?

    I imagine you are suctioning boogers out (when Harm is sick I suction every 30 mins)!  Another thing I do is try to keep Harm sitting up (like in his swing).  You can get a vaporizer and put some Eucalyptus or Vicks in it.  The vapors are helpful.  GL!  Colds at this age are no fun!

    saline drops, suction boogers, vaporizer/humidifier, vicks vapo rub, plain tylenol or motrin if he is just horribly uncomfortable.

    We're going through the same thing:( I got the humidifier going- I even put it on a table so it was higher, and closer to his crib.We used the Vicks plugins which seemed to help, and we did suction when needed. I also sat in the bathroom w/ DS for awhile w/ the shower running (hot water), and the steam helped clear his congestion a bit. One night, the only way I could DS to sleep was to have him in bed next to me, w/ his head elevated on some towels. GL, and hope your little guy feels better soon!
