Helping a toddler deal with a runny nose & cold?

It looks like Kevin has his first cold. He kept waking up last night with his nose all stuffed or runny and just generally feeling miserable.

I used the saline drops, the bulb syringe and finally gave him some decongestant which helped a bit.

Is there something else I should be doing?

Elevate the part of his mattress under his head with a rolled up towel. Run a cool mist dehumidifier. They both help to get the mucus out.

Good luck, Sarah had a cold last week and was pretty miserable.
