cough and cold may be infective  or allergic in cause.give steam to relieve nasal congestion which is of great help and nasoclear drops can also be used in nose multiple times. can also give sinarest drops .
cough syrup or nebulization should be given according to the type of cough and only under the guidance of your pediatrician .self medication is not recommended.
 if the cough is productive give asthakind-ls. Usually due to the symptoms if the child is not showing interest in having food, give only simple home-made preparations as required, can give certain fruits like apple, papaya etc. ,child will start to eat as symptoms get resolved.
Due to seasonal changes or due to repeated exposure to the infective agent if the child is catching cold and cough repeatedly you need to develop good immunity by giving proper balanced diet and multi jgg-vitamin supplements under medical guidance.

hi mom. 
as the kid day still small they tend to get the infection very frequently because of the low immunity which can be there till 9 to 10 years then after that kids will start to develop natural immunity by themselves. 
try to give more amount of dry fruits fruits dairy products and protein rich food which will increase the immunity
