Hello
Please don’t use any such home remedies.
Camphor is very harmful for the baby.
It is Like a poison if child eats by mistake.
So don’t give smell of camphor.
You can give steam inhalation or nebulization whatever is possible for you.

Most of the time cough cold, fever  are viral in origin, it may subside by 3 -9 days. 
No need of any medication if mild.

If fever above 100F then need fever medication  (paracetmol) as per weight.

If cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops/Otrivin-P nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3 times a day for 3 days).

If cough then need cough syrup or drops as per babys cough condition  (wet or dry).

Keep ur baby well hydrated in cough cold fever episode
Maintain hygiene, hand wash properly, 
Keep ur baby away from other infected persons, continue to give  all  food items as before, continue breast feed as well till 1.5 months of age. It will help for fast recovery.

If decreased oral intake, decreased urine output,  breathing difficulty, 
Then need consultation with nearest pediatrician.

Light massage of mustard oil or coconut oil will help your baby to get relief from cough. Do massage on chest & back of your baby.
Roast 2–3 big cloves of garlic & few pinches of Ajwain on tawa for just one minute. You will be able to smell powerful fumes. Let the mixture cool down and keep near your child. The smell of mixture will heal the cold & cough of your child. You can also bind the mixture in pouch for better handling.
Warm up coconut oil and add tulsi leaves. Apply this 
 oil on chest of your baby before sleep. You can also do hair massage with same oil
. It will give relief to your cold and cough 
put a room humidifier in the room and add few drops of eucalyptus or peppermint oil 
That soothes them against cough and is very effective 
Also if there is stuffy nose or wheezing 
Put organic eucalyptus rub on the clothes 
Like under shirt
