Paracetamol lowers fever and relieves pain. Phenylephrine narrows swollen blood vessels in the nose, easing congestion. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that dries up a runny nose and reduces sneezing. Caffeine supports the pain relief and offsets some drowsiness.

Take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on as usual. Never take two doses together to make up for it.
