Thanks bnm, I'll try this and your other suggestions above.

Give him lots of water to drink. See if he will have warm chicken soup.
A week to ten days is normal for a virus to run its course. It's so so hard! |
Did you see my update? It's been over a month now and he hasn't had a virus for a few weeks already.

Does it make sense that this would cause congestion suddenly? Do they take them out so young? He's 2.5.

Have you ruled out asthma? My kids had it and now my grandchild. Colds and viruses can be a trigger and can make congestion difficult to resolve. The shower steaming is often helpful, but you need to do it regularly. Also, after so many weeks, what started out as a virus could now be bacterial. You might want to see if your child needs antibiotics. I caught RSV from my grandchild and it took over 3 weeks to resolve. Eventually, I needed antibiotics for bronchitis.
Also, cut raw onions (as mentioned upthread) will not do anything for asthma or congestion. It's a bubbe meise.

No, I haven't gone to the doctor for him since he had the initial virus, since they swabbed him then, got the result that it was some common virus and there was nothing to do for it. Interesting I wouldn't have thought of asthma since it's just congestion and I've seen asthma in young kids before and it's presented more as wheezing. I'll keep it in mind thanks!
I feel like if it had turned bacterial there would be green mucus or something no? There's no mucus at at least not coming out of his nose.
Yeah, onions did nothing for this except make his room smell awful
