Variety of help: Things that can help include steam/humdifier to help clear the sinuses/nose, nasal saline sprays to the nose to help clear out any build-up mucus, as well as medication if the cold is not relenting. Elevating the bed can also help. If the simple non-medication remedies are not effective, you should see your pediatrician or a specialist for more targeted therapy (antibiotics, lung medication.
