Just make sure he's getting plenty of milk so he doesn't get dehydrated. You can try putting him in the bathroom while you take a shower. Steam often helps unstuff baby noses and ease coughing. Otherwise, you're doing what you should be doing-- sucking out the snot. You might want to pick up some saline nose drops, too. It can help break up congestion and soften stubborn boogers so they're easier to remove.
If there's no fever and the snot is clear, there's no reason to take the baby to the ER. Call the doc during office hours.
