Hi my 3.5 year-old boy has a cough and blocked nose and a slight fever. we have been giving him corenza junior since sunday but he is not getting any better. what other medication can i give?

Nothing specific: Studies in the US showed the cough meds do little more than give you something to do in kids under 6. They are more likely to end up in an ER visit for an overdose than help. These usually pass/self heal in a week or so. Maintaining good nutrition and rest are the best supportive care.
