Good evening Dosage in children is based on weight of baby hence weight is must. For a baby 1.5 yr old, assuming weight 10-12 kg you can safely give 3 ml syp crocin DS or calpol 250 syrup. Temperature charting/monitoring is very important in young kids. For cold better to wait and watch and give medicine only if baby is uncomfortable. Hope it helps.
