5 week old congestion/sneezing

I have a head cold- started as a slight sore throat 2 days ago and yesterday turned into sinus congestion and a mucousy cough.

Now DS has started sneezing frequently and is miserable tonight- you can hear all the "goop" in his nose
I have been holding him upright, gave saline drops and tried suctioning it out using the bulb.

He does not have a fever at all- he was 97.8 F.

Any suggestions to help him and me get through the night?

DD is also 5 weeks and is sneezing and congested sounding when ER went for our 1 month check they said that's ok. One because sneezing is part of their growth and because they are summer babies with the air conditioning its normal.
She also isn't running a fever and is doing everything the dame as usual. But you know tor child and if you think its something then call the md. They should be able to tell you if that's ok or not.

I highly recommend Baby Comfy Nose! Gets SO much out... better than any bulb! I felt so happy when DS was sick knowing I was helping him breathe better! It's AMAZING how effective it is!

Hope he's feeling better!
