Hi welcome to the health care magic
Your child mostly having viral respiratory tract infection as per history
In child viral infection is most common cause leading bronchitis or bronchiolitis like infection...
Your child physical examination has to be done first by Auscultation..
If rhonchi heard than bronchodilator nebulization might needed as in bronchiolitis
The syrup you are telling is decongestant syrup that can be given after doc prescription
If you are living in high cold temperature than room heater can be used..
Take care
Consult pediatrician for examination and further subsequent treatment
