Stick to the limits on the bottle I'm sure you don't want to overdose him. Just keep him warm, make sure he drinks a lot and keep an eye on his temperature.

I would check with your doctor, he my be able to prescribe an antihistmine, or give you the correct dosage, 5 months is a little young though for over the counter cold meds. Try suctioning his noise out and using saline drops up his nose. Also plenty of fluids will help and keeping his head elevated so his nose can drain easier.

My doctor has me alternate Children's Motrin with Tylenol every two hours; however, my children are not quite as young as yours. Check with your doctor or pharmacist.
