How To Treat Cold,fever And Runny Nose Inspite Of Giving Calpol In Infants?

Hi, my baby is 9 months today and is suffering from cold & fever, very bad blocked/ runny nose for past 4 days, temperature gets to normal giving calpol. He was having high fever on day 2. applying baby Vicks in chest, legs etc 3 times daily. He is having hard time sleeping even in inclined position because of stuffy / runny nose, have to hold him all night for him to get some sleep. Having hard time with his food, so he is fully on formula milk for past 2-3 days. He is having difficulty in having milk too because of blocked nose, as he has to breath with mouth. Calpol , ibuprofen & nasal saline spray doesn t seem to help much for his cold. Kindly advise.
