Treat symptoms: Tylenol (acetaminophen) or advil can help with pain or discomfort. A vaporizer or elevating the head of the bed can also help. Ac isbfine.

Help clear mucous: Keeping him upright to help drain any mucous, lots of clear fluids such as pedialyte and using a bulb syringe or "nose sucker" to help clear his airway. I also like Vicks vapor for soothing.
