Suggest Treatment For Fever, Runny Nose And Cold

Hi,
My son who is 8 months old is suffering from light fever, running nose and cold problems.

I have promethazine syrup, zanocin syrup, feveril syrup and meftal-p syrup.

Since my doctor is out of station, can you guide me which medicine suits him right now.
