Use hot water to massage his body. Use mentholatum to massage his body, heart and lungs afterwards. If u have running water, u can run hot water in the bathroom, close the door and sit on a stool while carrying him. The hot steam will help his respiratory organs. If u normally pour water on his face, clean instead cos at his age, inhaling of water can cause catarrh. That was what i did that stopped the catarrh in my darling son. I cleaned his face with towel dipped in water instead of washing
