Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Paracetamol 15 mg/kg body weight every 4-6 hours will reduce fever.
In addition you give tepid sponging for prompt relief.
You may use any anti cold syrup and saline nasal drops for relief of running nose and cough.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
