Hi....Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. But how do you know it is wheezing. Has he had wheezing before. For cold you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.

For cold you can use Cetirizine at 0.25mg/kg/dose every 12 hourly for 3 days.
For nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do, every 4-6th hourly to relive nasal congestion.

If he really has wheezing you can use Levolin syrup 3.5ml thrice a day for 3 days.
