Use nasal saline drops to relieve nasal block...you can use it very frequently, 1drop in each nostril...
You can use diaper but change it frequently to avoid rashes....

Hi! Baby gained very less weight. Is feeding sufficient? You can use nasoclear nasal drops and do gentle massage for nasal congestion. You can continue using cloth and needs to be changed immediately once they are wet.
Next Steps
Recommended to visit near by hospital to check lungs and condition of the child.
