Posted on Fri, 2 Dec 2022
Question: Hi,
My 5 month old daughter is suffering from cold and cough from last 2 days. Doctor prescribed two medications
1. Maxtra Syrup ( When I checked it online it says to be used for children above 2 years)
2. Soventus Jr ( I didn’t find any information to use it on infants)
Please can you advise us whether to use the above medication.

Much Appreciated.

Thank You
doctor
