Suggest Remedy To Clear The Nasal Mucus

My son will turn 3 next month. 2 days ago, he was sent home from preschool with a high fever. Without ibufrofen every 6 hrs, he is burning up. He also has some post nasal drip and will not blow his nose (or can't). This is causing him to breath through his mouth and is coughing a lot. Any suggestions on how to clear the mucus? We tried some saline spray and it only seem to choke him.
