Yes u can give him just plain steam ; you Don t need to add anything in it . Also it's just viral it will take minimum of 3  to 4 days to recover.  Keep him warm and use the nasal drops if there is nose block.

If mild,avoid unnecessary medicine and just give steam inhalations for cold and use decongestant nasal drops for nasal block or increased cough on lying down. Use paracetamol for fever if required.
