Based on what you’ve described, this looks like a mild viral cold. Cough with mucus after a runny nose and no fever is very common in 1.5-year-old children.
At this stage:
• Saline nasal drops are sufficient and should be continued
• Steam inhalation (supervised) can help loosen mucus
• Plenty of fluids and rest are important
