HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern let me tell you that in case of cold and fever no need to give antibiotic to the child, this is the most self limiting symptoms and will come around with the symptomatic medicine alone and that incudes antipyretic "Acetaminophen " this is only given when the fever is above the 100F, pure honey can be tried for the cough, hope this information helps you have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
