It depends on cause.: Depending on the height of the fever and severity of the cough, he may need to see the doctor. For runny nose, the safest and most effective treatment is saline nose drops and suctioning. He may not like it, but it works! elevating the head of his bed also helps at night.

Comfort/ observation: The average 2yo with fever & cough has a mild self limited illness.He will key off your body language to remain either calm or afraid. Comfort meds/fluids/ simple digestable energy foods and a preservation of normal routein will help keep things as simple & allow recovery of minor pbs. If you observe a decline in his activity/fluid intake etc a call to the service is in order.
