In the U.S. there is a product called Vicks Vaporub. It has menthol in it, and, if a little is rubbed under the nose, airways will open up. Ask your pharmacist if there is something similar in your country. Or call your doctor.

I know we also had a "bulb" that would help suck or clean out the nose. Although from my memory the kids did not think highly of it.

If they are sick for a bit, normally have you called and asked your doctor

At this age I would also suggest you take him to the doctor RIGHT AWAY. At his age it would be so easy for a cold to turn into RSV or pnumonia.
