Suggest Treatment For Cough And Cold In A Child

I have son of 10months, he has cough n cold from past 10-15days, his chest is clear. Firstly doctor advised to give him Zyrtec syrup (2ml) Thrice a day which didnt worked well so he changed the medicine to Maxtra syrup (2.5ml) Thrice a day continue for 5days which is also not effecting his coughing. It seems the mucus is become thick. He is coughing and whizing quite a lot. Kindly advice what i should do now.
