Not with ANY human over-the-counter products for sure. The things we use for pain relief (asprin) and others can seriously damage a cat's liver within 24 hours.
Most "colds" are viral infections and antibiotics don't do anything for them either. Many vets give antibiotic to stave off the possibility of a secondardy bacterial infection which might cause pneumonia.
You need to monitor you cat carefully to make sure he can breathe relatively freely, that he is eating normally etc. If he develops any problems with either of these he should see the vet immediately.

It is best to get the cat to vet, however, there are some comfort measures that you can give the cat. You can carefully steam the cat's room with Vaporub or get the "plug-in" non-water children's vaporub. I have helped my cat with the vaporub. Also, I wash his eyes out with an herbal product for cats called "Bright Eyes". I have to wrap him in a blanket to do this as he resents it. Also, careful with steaming with Vaporub or similar product: keep water out of cat's reach, if in a small room then offer something to ventilation perhaps just keeping a door open or window cracked open. My cat is an indoor/outdoor cat. We have been in a cold snap so I make sure he uses the kitty litter instead of doing duty outside.

A cat's cold is usually an URI and usually needs antibiotics so it won't turn into pneumonia. Call your vet for an appointment.

Please take your cat to the Vet.
If it's sneezing, coughing ( in a cat this will sound like they're trying to get up a hairball ) having runny eyes and a runny nose it's an Upper Respiratory Infection and needs to be on antibiotics.
If it's not treated it can turn into something much more serious.
So please take kitty to the Vet, I hope he/she gets well soon.

Respiratory infections are really common in cats. If it's not serious or persistent, little things like those vapo-rub plug ins can help. Also, keeping them in the bathroom when the shower is running can help loosen up congestion.
