Congestion: Elevate his head and keep his room cool and not too dry. Use gentle saline and look at other types of aspirators. If he develops fever, difficulty breathing or poor feeding, see a doctor. All the best.

Nasal congestion: At 2mo the primary cause of congestion are irritants or colds. House dust, fragrance, perfumes, detergent or cleaning products all leave scents that don't bother adults but irritate a babies nose. A good nasal clean out with saline can remove much of this irritant load, but removing the offending irritants from babies life helps more in the long run.Irritants aggravate colds ; nasal wash helps.
