Is Maxtra P Drops Safe For An Infant?
Is it safe to give maxtra p drops to a 20 day old child for cough...my paediatric has told to give six drops twice a day for 6 days...but for last 3 days I have given only 4 - 5 drops once a day..how safe it is? Is there any alternative solution for cough?

hi cough in a 20 day old is usually due to running nose or infection. your child may need antibiotics if the cough is present but not running nose. use saline nasal drops for nose block and kindly consult her doctor once for antibiotics if the cough persists. maxtra drops are given for running nose. hope this helps you, kindly rate if so. take care
