Hi dear,
I understand your concern .Ambrodyl is usual Ambroxol,it is helpful for cough.Maxtra can give sedative effects, because containes phenylephrine which will decrease edema of bronhus and Chloropyramine is antihistamine, which cause sleepiness. You should give maxtra before sleeping only ,not for a long time,5 days enough, do vibrational massage that sputum comes out.It is safe ,don't worry, if you will not see effects, then add antibiotics-Cefadroxil.
If you have more questions, then don't hesitate to write us,I am always happy to help.
Wishing your baby good health
