If he's afebrile and still full,the cough medicine could be the cause,because all cause some sedation.
If mild,avoid unnecessary medicine and just give steam inhalations for cold and cough and decongestant nasal drops for nasal block or increased cough on lying down.
Use paracetamol for fever if required.
Tests are needed if fever persists beyond 5 days of continuous fever OR child is VERY sick.
In that case,please consult your paediatrician.
