no ,you can not give any type of medicine by own.
but as a child is having cold and cough ,here I suggest some homemade remedies which you can try :
first , maintain proper hydration.
give Luke warm water to drink
you give Massage with warm coconut oil and Tulsi leaves.
you may use Babyhug rapid relief rub .
you can try heat fomentation
for that
take a clean Cotton clothe
grate an onion on it.
make pouch of it.
heat the tava
place pouch on it for few seconds.
check with your hands first ,it should not be too hot then gently Pat it on chest and back of your child.
