Most catarrh are due to viral infections and are expected to resolve on it's own without medication.
For the nasal congestion, you can perform steam inhalation with your baby or use saline drops in the nostrils to help decongest the mucus & make breathing easier.
Also, keep the child warm & avoid exposure to anyone with cough or catarrh. Also avoid exposure to dusts, fumes & smokes.
But if it still doesn't help, and your baby is having difficulty breathing, then you should see a doctor.
