Thanks for consulting at Healthcare Magic.
In children common causes of multiple episodes of cough, cold, fever is the occurrence of repeated upper respiratory tract infections (e.g., pharyngitis, ear infection etc.) and allergies. Nasal congestion can cause headache. Eye congestion can also occur in viral infection. As doctor has examined your grandson after head trauma and found no significant clinical problem then you need worry regarding head trauma.
Give paracetamol for fever, decongestants for reliving nasal congestion.
If no relief consult ENT specialist for detailed clinical examination of nasopharynx, throat and ear to detect infections of upper respiratory tract and ear.
