have you put pillow under the matress to prop him up?

I tend to find vicks works best and I would get some cough mixture.

Bath would be good, especially if you can fill up the sink with boiling water so teh bathroom is steamy.

vicks is ok from 6 months IIRC (check on label).

Yeah put some in sink and then smother him in it to sleep (can't put it on neck or face for lo's).

Fantastic stuff!!

normal vicks is ok over 6 months (have just checked).

If you can put pillow under mattress as well as it raises them up higher and makes it easier to breathe.
