Any could be correct depending on when they occurred (past, present, future). For example:
1. He got a fever (past tense)
2. He had a fever (past tense) Just another way to say the same thing.
3. He has a fever (present tense)
4. He has got a fever (present tense) Still correct, just a little less common of a way to say it.
4. He will get a fever (future tense)
The same applies for the word "cold". Just switch it out with the word fever above.
Now, a cold and fever are two different things. You can have them at the same time, but they do not mean the same thing.
- A cold is a common viral infection of the nose and throat.Usually causes a runny nose and sore throat.
- A fever is a temporary increase in body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). It usually causes muscle aches, body chills, etc.

“Getting cold” means the temperature is going down, or it feels like the temperature is going down.
“Your dinner is getting cold”
“I’m getting cold. Let’s go inside.”
“Getting a cold” means getting sick. It’s slightly better to say “catching a cold”. “Get” isn’t wrong, but its use when there is a common better word sounds a little sloppy.
