Hi...this seems to be a viral induced cough and cold. This is usually a self limiting illness and unless the child is having fast breathing or severe cough disturbing his sleep or inability to talk or take food, you need not worry. The symptoms now you are telling will settle in a few days.
For cold you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.
