Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As your son is having cough and fever for which you have tried the medicines to relieve the symptoms.

I would suggest you to follow
1.Syrup Azithromycin 10 mg per kilogram body weight per dose Once a day for three days.

2.Keep the Child warm and properly covered.

3.Syrup Paracetamol, continue giving Syrup Paracetamol 10 mg per kilogram of body weight per dose, 3 -4 times a day for 2 days. It will also be helpful in relieving body pain associated during respiratory infection.

4. Decoction: 1 cup of milk+ 10 Tulsi leaves(if available)+ 1 spoon Turmeric+ 2 gm of fresg ginger+ 4 black pepper+ 2 spoon sugar. Bring it to boil. Filter it. Make the quantity appropriate for volume of thermos flask.
Thank you.
