Brief Answer:
Take an anti-allergic

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I need following details about your symptoms, so that I am better able to advice medicines:
- What is colour of sputum?
- How bad is the cough?
- Is there breathing difficulty during cough episodes?
- For how long do you have symptoms?
- Have you tried any medicines?

Meanwhile you can take tab cetirizine 5 mg upto 2 times a day for runny nose. You can also take Tab Paracetamol 500 mg upto 4 times a day for fever. These medicines are to be taken whenever symptoms are there. Cough is considered a defense against passing bacteria into lungs. So its not a good idea to suppress cough unless it is bad.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
