Sick baby

LO is 9 months and is suffering from a bad flu which I have just recovered from. Feel so bad for him as I know how rough it was. This is the first time he's been properly ill.

We're keeping him dosed up on Calpol and ibuprofen but he is understandably still super fussy. He's went down for his morning nap but it has been such a long morning dealing with him. I've been letting him have more screen time than usual as sitting on my knee watching TV is about all he has energy for but aside from that I just don't know how to keep him happy/get the day in. Any advice appreciated.

Also, bought saline drops for his nose but he has point blank refused to let me put them in his nostrils so also any advice on how to actually do this 🤦🏻‍♀️
