OK, don't panic! He's your first that's understandable, firstly no fever and he ist still his usuall happy relatively active self, not lethargic? Then it is probably just a bad cold. Try keeping him a bit more upright, put a few books underneath the head end of his cot or crib to that he isn't so flat and help make his breathing easier, I think at 3 months you will be able to use a baby menthol rub or something similar to help clear his air ways, take him out for a nice stroll down to your local pharmacy and see what they have like that, the fresh air will help too. Also try running the hot tap int the bathroom or the shower and make the room nice and steamy, sit in there for about ten minutes with him this might help his breathing a bit too. If it is a cold it could take quite a few days to clear up, just keep an eye on him, he may not be able to feed as well and might get a bit grouchy because of having a blocked nose. just keep and eye on his temperature, if he does develop one, keep him cool until you can see your doctor and get a prescription, if needed to reduce it.
