Hi and welcome to HCM.
You need to find saline solution nasal spray with minimal amount of efedrin. This should be applied 2 times daily. Also, you can get inhalator aand nose aspirator from the pharmacy. This will relieve symptoms but not cure the flu.It simply must pass some time till he recovers,he should just have enough fluids and have febrility reduced.
I hope I ve answered your questions, feel free to ask us more if you have some concerns.
Wish you good health. Regards
