[|AI|]  Hi...by what you say this looks like a viral illness to me. It is usual for kids to have fever along with chest congestion and blocked nose. Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in child Chat Doctor.  For cold, you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do. For fever - Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose (max ceiling dose 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly, that too only if fever is more than 100F.
