Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi my baby is 8 month old , he is having throat conjustion and had fever of 99.4 . doctor prescribed crocin if fever remains after one doss of 0.8 ml. fever has gone now . but he has also prescribed maxtra p and advent drops for conjustion for 3 days 3 times a day. but on the maxtra p packing it is written that from 2 - 6 year old baby nly 1/4 to /2 spoon shud be given. but our doc has told that give 3/4 spoon 3 time a day to 8 month old baby. is it safe to give maxtra p drops to baby with that dosage amount?
Maxtra P should preferably not be used in children less than 2 years of age and definitely not in such high dosage. Your child is probably having viral infection. Please continue paracetamol for the fever. If the throat congestion is bothering your kid too much you can give Maxtra drops 10 drops at bed time otherwise it is best to avoid anti congestion medicines at this age.
