Suggest Treatment For Cough And Cold In A Child

My son is 4years old, he is suffering from cough and cold and fever. Today Early morning at 5 i discovered he had fever 101, so i gave him 5ml paracetamol, 5ml s-mucolite. Now fever is down, but he is still coughing and little runny nose for which i am putting otrivin nasal drops and saline nasal drops. Night before yesterday he vomited as well. Wanted to ask what medicines shall i continue with?

This will remain for few days.
Continue with paracetamol if fever is there.
Continue with s-mucolite for 3-4 days for cough bouts.
