You could try putting a bowl with boiling water & menthol crystals in the room. You can buy these cheap at the chemist. You also get something called Karvol for babies which is the same sort of idea but you put it on the “pillow” area near the head.

Hi, I am sorry your baby is unwell. I would contact your Health Visitor
for advice as decongestant drops and oils are not recommended for babies under 3 months.
Alternatively you could phone NHS direct for advice.

There is very little available until they are 3 months old, my pharmacist explained that products can damage immature lungfs, so to be on the safe side…
Make sure his room is not too dry, try leaving a bowl of water by the radiator. We also found that slightly elevating babies head while sleeping helped – a towel or 2 under the head end of his mattress.
Hope this helps and you get some sleep!
