Is there anything else I can do besides continuing to use the salt water and the baby wand to try to dislodge his secretions?

Question

Hi, my 5 month old baby seems to have plug secretions in his throat. We had a cold a few weeks ago, and it was easy to dislodge it with a saline solution and the baby fly but this time, nothing comes out, even if it is done several times a day. However, we hear in his breathing and when we put our hand in his back that there is something that bothers. He doesn't seem to be bothered, breathes well anyway, and his mood hasn't changed. Great, thank you very much! Have a nice day.
