I have a 8 1/2 month old son who is having some trouble breathing due to stuffy/runny nose and drainage down his throat should i take him to the er?

Stuffy nose: Before running off to the ER use a bulb syringe to suck out excess mucus. Use salt water nose drops to keep nasal passage free. Use a vaporizer with an elevated mattress when sleeping
