7 week old with the snuffles

My 7 week old ds has the snuffles and is finding it hard to bfeed and is snorting a little when he tries to feed... it sounds like a dry snuffle rather than really congested with mucus. Is there anything I can do at this young age to help his nose? I know from when my dd was younger saline was good but not sure it will work for the dry snuffles? He sounds very stuffy nosed. Can anyone advise? (BTW he has no temp/and no other cold symptoms)...

I squirted breastmilk up DD's nose at this age Blush
Feeding in a steamy bathroom helped too.
