Accepted Answer

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.

nose block congestion also result in loss of appetite, difficult sucking. try different head up feeding position.

feed by spoon otherwise.

Keep baby hydrated. Feed every few hours that is the best way to cure soon. Also add tulsi leaves to warm coconut oil and apply to baby's chest sole and back. Keep baby warm. Home remedies are good but it would take a longer time to recover. Babies cant bear for a long time. It's better to check with doctor once and you can treat with medicines and home remedies parallel.
