cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be used once a proper evaluation byf the doctor is done and according to the type of cough its prescribed.
if any fever is thedre paracetamol can be given to reduce the temperature and the dose can be repeated again after 6 hours if required .

As steam actually helps in opening up nasal passages and also clears congestion of the baby. Also apply Vicks baby rub on baby's chest. And must consult with your paediatric for any medicine required. Good luck and take care
