You have to use saline drops 4 times per day for not more than 3 days. Continue to feed and since he is taking good amount there is no need to worry
Cough syrup is not used for such young babies as it is not safe. Use suction syringe to remove nasal secretions or discharges an hour before or an hour after feeding. A brand boogie bulb is available at Amazon.in
