Your baby is sleepy and crying cause of viral fever. for fever continue paracetamol .
for nasal congestion I would suggest you to start nebulisation with normal saline it's quite soothing for babies.
third most important thing in this pandemic is to keep up proper hydration of the baby, give lot of fluids and a good diet.
you handle baby with a mask on your face and isolate from other family members , only mother should take care of baby with a mask on her face..
remember you have to stop the Transmission to other family members n your self so that you can take care of the little one. don't worry he will be fine 😊

Even though he is not having fever, viral infection are known to cause myalgia, I would suggest you continue paracetamol for a day or two. Continue with saline drop every 4 hourly for 5 days.
