2 week of very congested

[Frenchyfren]

Posting here for traffic.

My 2 week old (born 5 weeks early) has been very congested for the past 3 days or so. I have had a cough and cold myself so he must have picked it up from me, I feel awful!

His nose has been very stuffy so we have used saline spray with the frida mom snot sucker.

Is it safe to use a humidifier in the room with him?

also, his poos have been a bit mucusy today, yellow in colour. He also has what looks like a bit of nappy rash. I just feel awful! Could the mucus poos and nappy rash be related to being congested?

is there anything else I can do?

Thanks

Hope you both feel better soon 🙏 you can take him in with you in a steamy shower or bath to help with the congestion. Humidifier sounds good, vapour rub his chest and back. The yellowy poo with mucus is from the cold virus so hopefully will get better, but do treat the rash with OTC ointment/cream. I blame the weather all kinds of illnesses going on. Get well soon both of you ❤️
