Cough along with Cold most of the time is a  viral illness and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration. you can give steam inhalation which is very useful .
cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according to the type of cough.
if fever is there paracetamol can byre given to reduce the fever and the dose can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .

hi
first ,as it is allergic problem ,from my personal experience,I would suggest to opt for Homeopathic medicines for this.
second ,to boost your child immunity ,
give citrus fruits ,green veggies ,nuts , multigrain food items more.
it is best to give Turmeric milk once in a day
or give Tulsi leaves with pinch of salt and Turmeric powder and few drops of lemon juice daily in morning.
give sunlight atleast 20 minutes a day.
