11 month old severe congestion. Pls help ASAP

Hi,
My 11 month old boy is severely congested. Doc said his lung is wet and this could lead to pneumonia and suggested he take antibiotics. I want to avoid that as much as possible. I've let her know i'll give her a call if he has a fever and we can give him antibiotics.
I'm currently just using homemade vicks (camphor heated in coconut oil) and saline water. Would like to administer homeopathy meds to give him some relief. Need your advice. He is fine except for his congestion - apetite is normal, but is unable to drink off bottle due to congestion (he recently weaned and is being fed cow's milk) and is preferring solids. He's active but is clingy every so often. No cough, just heavy breathing. He's sleepy, but unable to lie down and breathe, so sleep is also affected. Please let me know if you need any other info and i'll post immediately.

Thank you ever so much!!
