Saline and suction: Saline nose drops and nasal suction are the most helpful; I advise using them every few hours as needed. Prop up the head of his bed a little and use a cool mist humidifier in his room (but scrub it out daily). If he remains uncomfortable despite this, he needs to see the Dr. to make sure there isn't anything more going on, like an ear infection. I hope he feels better soo
