Help w/cough and congestion

[Guest guest]

My 3 y/o son has been congested and had a cough for a few days now. I

have been putting saline in his nose, but that is all. He hasn't run

a fever that I know of, a few times he has felt warm, but when I've

taken the temp he hasn't had one. I really think he needs something

to break up the congestion or dry it up. What do I give him? Is

there something natural or should I pursue having something compounded

for him at our local compounding pharmacy? My concern is that it

could turn into an infection causing even more problems or that his

school won't let him continue coming because of the cough. He's

pretty cranky with it too. Any suggestions? Thanks.
