it may be associated with fever too for which calpol can be given three times a day..
As the first line of treatment for relief you can give steam inhalation which would be of great help .to relieve blocked nose nasoclear drops can also be used multiple times.
Cough Syrup or nebulization should be given only after a proper evaluation according to the type of cough .self medication may not be so helpful so please consult your dnoctor once. if the cough is productive you can give brozeet-ls or ambrodil syrhup for now only n continue only after doctor's advice.avoid refrigerated items and give simple home-made preparations a required.child will gradually begin to eat as symptoms resolve.

Hello 
This is very common. While suffering with cold and cough babies don’t like to take enough milk. If your baby is taking less milk in one take that is totally fine. You can repeat the feeding in less time gap. But there is no need to give anything else just feed your baby properly and time

Happy parenting
