Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.

3 months child having congestion, vomiting and sneezing is a serious thing. There is possibility of pneumonia.

I suggest you to immediately take the child to doctor for examination. Home remedies will not help in such a small child.

It's very necessary to get the child examined by a pediatrician.
