Dear Patient,
Yes you can wait 2-3 days before seeing a specialist. Most are viral and go away themselves.
You can put humidifier on in his room when he sleeps, put 2 drops norsaline nasal drops in each nose before every feed . Collect steam in a small bathroom or room n sit there with him for 10-15mins.
Apply slightly warm mustard oil on his chest, back and soles before bed and keep these areas warm. If hes having foods and is above 8months you can give yakhni.
Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
