Hi,
Nothing to worry about runny nose and cough.
But having scratch in his eye might create big problem if untreated.
There might be having all chances of having corneal ulcer producing corneal opacity and problem for vision in the future.
Consult ophthalmologist and get examined as early as possible.
Ok and take care.
