Hello dear,
I had gone through your question and understand your concern. Cough and bad appetite are usually caused by viral infection or he has throat pain and don't want to eat . With such presentation in my clinic, I suggest:
-keep baby sipping water all day and when he gets cough bouts drink;
-hot drinks(ginger,lemon tea);
-lozenges-Sualin 1 tablet thrice a day and Strepsils thrice a day;
-Take Steam soda inhalation during 5 min daily;

-avoid sour ,cold drinks;
- Nasal decongestant-Otrivin or any paediatric drops;
-Cough syrup (Kuka) 1/2 teaspoon twice a day for 5 days.
