My 5 month old recently became very congested and has a tough time sleeping at night. he wakes about every 2-3 hours. any medicine or advice?

Congested 5 mo old: Three things to start with. Elevate his head by putting him in his infant seat to sleep. Normal saline nose drops for babies and run a cool mist humidifier near him at night and naps. If it has been over 3 days, have him checked by his pediatrician. I hope that this helps.
