Answer

Hello
For proper medications and dosages you should consult with your paediatrician once. 
In home remedies can be-
•	Using indirect steam  and use of  humidifier or cool mist vaporiser in the room . Breathing moist air loosens the mucous in the airway passages.
•	Blocked or stuffy nose interferes with breathing while breastfeeding or bottle feeding. So you can use saline nasal drops like otrinoz  , one to two drops in each nostril 
•	Maintain hydration. Keep feeding the baby at regular intervals.
•	Apply Vicks baby rub on soles of both feet chest and back and cover the baby well  .make the baby wear soft cotton socks. Alternatively you can apply mustard oil heated with ajwain and garlic in it filtered well and apply luke warm on these areas. 
•	Avoid cold temperatures 
•	As common cold and cough are of viral origin and spread by droplet infection so avoid contact with sick person. 
•	Maintain hygiene to avoid risk of infection. Wash your hands or sanitize hands before touching the baby. 
•	Avoid mouth contact on babies face , hands and rest of body parts.

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 baby have cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops/Otrivin-P nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3-4 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 if possible , continue to give  all  food items as before, continue breast feed as well till 1.5 yrs of age, 
It will help for fast recovery.

If decreased oral intake, decreased urine output,  breathing difficulty, 
Then need to consult  with ur nearest pediatrician.
