Cool mist humidifier would be a good idea as it will prevent drying up of mucus . You can massage the baby but not with mustard oil presently as the skin is very sensitive and can be allergic to it . Try doing a patch test before hand. Giving a bath with warm water after steaming up the bathroom is a good idea and will help the baby instead .

My mother advised to warm mustard oil with few cloves of garlic and massage it on his chest, back and foot, and then wrapping him with cotton cloth for sometime. But I haven't done this because baby's massage and bath are on hold. Is this allowed <font color ="#3b5998"><b> @616d068e202a1a001308d3f1 </b></font>

Thanks <font color ="#3b5998"><b> @616d068e202a1a001308d3f1 </b></font> . Can I use cool mist humidifier in the room? Also, in such cases what is better AC or Fan, because he sweats as well in the night?

So this sounds like infection . Continue breast feeding will provide him immunity, you could give steam inhalation indirectly by placing the steamer next to the crib . Keep decongesting the nostrils by adding saline drops . Keep the baby s little propped up while you lay him down in bed .
