When a patient complains of a runny nose and cough, you test for bacterial infections. If no bacterial infection is found, assume that it is a viral infection; treat the symptoms and wait for the viral infection to run its course.

You need to stay home so you don't infect other people with your virus. Drink lots of water, eat chicken soup and get a lot of rest for a couple of days. You should start to feel better. If the cold lasts five days or more and you feel worse, check in with your doctor.

I assume the patient is in a hospital, and under treatment. In which case, you can give the patient a box of tissues to wipe their nose, and then inform the doctor treating the patient. It maybe that simply dosing with a cough medicine will affect, harmfully, any prescribed medicine the doctor has previously prescribed.

If you are feeding a patient and he coughs and has a runny nose, you will have to stop first and clean the mess first.
