My son (11 months old) is suffering from cough and cold & having watery nose. He is being given maxtra (5 ml one dose) though his nose is watery as a result of which he used to be cranky all the time. Please suggest what else should be given.

5 ml of syp maxtra is too much for this aged baby. Give him saline nasal drop and steam inhalation to keep his nose open. You can also give him atrax drops 0.5 ml three times per days to decrease nasal secreation. If he is having any breathing dificulty consult your pediatrician.

Probably maxtra is trade name. Generic is convenient for proper advice. Anyway if maxtra is antibiotic, it has no role in Common cold n cough. U can instill saline nasal drop in each nostrils 3 to 4 times in a day n can give antihistamine.
