No fever or cough is a good thing.
If he doesn't take out the mucus, you can use the Red Rubber Mucus Sucker to clean his nose of mucus and then put the nose drops. Saline nose drops can be used frequently. ( decongestant drops to be used for 3 days or so)
Continue the same medication for maximum 2 more days.
Steam inhalation if possible is excellent, especially with your supervision with the electrical steam kettle .
Next Steps
Fever spikes and increasing cough need to be immediately addressed by the paediatrician clinic consultation.
