Thanks for consulting at Healthcare Magic.
Common causes of fever, cough and cold in children are viral or bacterial infections of respiratory tract, allergies, irritants, enlarged adenoids etc.
As you have already given paracetamol, cough syrups etc. for over a week, I would suggest you to consult a pediatrician. Pediatrician will do detailed clinical examination and may advice some investigations to determine the exact cause of such complaints.
