General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello my dear
I appreciate your concern for your baby
Since he has been sick for week so I believe this is the time you should see a pediatrician for proper assessment of his clinical condition

Study nose and cough is suggestive of URTI or allergy
Since he is not running fever as per your history than why are you giving him the calpol
He just need nasal saline drops and a cough syrup
Watering and redness of eye could be caused by infection or inflammation of eye so you should see a doctor for examination and a battery of tests to establish a diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Hope this answers your question
please let me.know if you have any more doubts
Best wishes
