You can use humidifier in the room...this will keep the air moist in the room and will not allow the mucus to harden. It will help to cure a runny nose and nasal congestion.

Keep the sleeping position slightly inclined and head slightly raised.  In an elevated position basically to ease breathing.

No home remedy medicines are suggested for such small babies especially giving orally.

If you are using saline drops then store bought  
are safer than home made as there is no risk of bacterial growth.

Please continue to breastfeed well as that is the best and safest form on nutrition for your baby and build immunity. The antibodies present in the breastmilk helps tye baby's bidy to build immunity against all types of germs and aids in proper hydration. Eat healthy and breastfeed your baby well.

Baby's clothing should be such to protect the chest from cold.

The ajwainy garlicky smoke from the potli will help the baby to open the blocked nose and relieve from congestion.

sometimes it takes a few days for the cough and cold to settle down.too many different medicines may not help. however if you would wish to give homeopathy better to consult a doctor and check if it will be suitable for such small babies.
