Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. For cold, you can use anti-allergics like Cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. Paracetamol can be given that too only if fever is more than 100°F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.

For cold, you can use Cetrizine. For nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
