Is there anything I can give 6 week baby? Poor thing has blocked nose and cough.

Snuggle babe is good (it’s a Baby version of vicks) you can also get it in an oil form as well. We used to use both and put some of the oil on a wet cloth and. Leave it on a warm radiator. I used to do this when he went to bed and would change the cloth during the night.
Take a bath and bring him in with you and lay him in his Moses basket/bouncy chair etc. The steam from your bath will help unblock his nose. Just make sure he’s not in too many layers. I used to do this after his bath when he was sleeping. Just helps clear his nose.
Raise the head part of his cot/whatever he sleeps in, so stuff a book under each leg. This should also help.

Saline spray helps. I have been using it on my 10 week old. Normally makes him sneeze out the snot.

Also steam as mentioned above. Though I sit with the shower running rather than using the bath. It will make clothes a bit damp so change them after.

Thanks, I'll head out today and get these and try the bath or take him to my mother's for her shower.

Feel so bad for them, they are too small.
