9 wk old DS with a cold. Runny nose and runny eye.. How can I help?

Think he's still too little for anything like Karvol or similar.
Have been using saline drops which seem to be helping.

He's just finding his thumb to settle himself which I'm delighted about but hasn't quite worked it out properly - and keeps poking himself in the eye.

So what with the sneezing and the poking, he's got himself a very red eye.

Is there anything I can do?

TIA

Meant to say have done the towel under his crib mattress thingy.

His eye is red and a little bit runny but his eyelid is red too which makes me think that it's the poking that's doing it?

Will try and spray some breastmilk in later, thanks for reminding me about it.

Steam good tip too.
Many thanks all
