It sounds like you're doing all you can: saline (or breastmilk), suction, elevate the head. You could also put a humidifier in hisroom and/or get the bathroom really steamy and go in there for awhile with him.
Try not to worry, stuffy noses happen. It's not a big deal, just annoying when it messes with their sleep!
you're doing it all, without a fever I wouldn't take him in to expose him to everything the other sick kids have there, but that choice is yours. You might call and see if RSV is very prevalent right now or not though.
runny nose? He will be feverish in time so give him medicine for it. Does the suction or saline solution work for you? I had used it before and it didn't work fine as it should be and I have read some risk for using it. Using a humidifier or warming the sorrounding will surely help clear his nose.
Living is good, but being a Mom is even better!!

Quoting larissalarie:
No you don't need to go to the doctor for a stuffy nose.
