Great question! Yes, a humidifier may help with his congestion. You can also trying brining him into the bathroom with you while you shower, as the steam may help as well. If he stops eating, becomes lethargy, or develops other signs such as coughing, I would have him seen by a vet. I hope Jake feels better soon :-)
