Hi and welcome in HCM.

I can understand your concern about your daughter.
So according to the history she has a common cold situation and she is taking the medication above.I can give you some other information about them.
Ambrolite cold syrup belongs to a class of drugs called expectorants.
Maxtra belongs to a class of medicines called anti-histamines and has several side eefects as follows:
Blurring of vision,Buzzing in ears,Hypotension,Anxiety,Insomnia,Palpitations
Excitability in children,,Dry mouth,Dry nose,Respiratory depression or difficulty,Dizziness Feeling need to vomit,Facial swelling, like on mouth, lips, cheeks etc.
But do not worry you can stop using it and she will feel better again.
To be sure for the cold i would recommend you some blood tests:
Blood count
CRP
Chest X Ray

If they are negative this is a viral situation and will soon pass.

I wish a good recovery for your daughter.

Thank you
