Brief Answer:
Avoid self medication
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Usually cold and cough at this age is viral in nature. You have already started an antihistamine. That would be enough for first aid. I would suggest you to get your child examined by a pediatrician. To rule out infections in throat, nose, chest or signs of allergy.
Avoid self medication. Maxtra is again another antihistamine which will be overdose with current medicine.
Other medicines you mentioned are given for wheezing after confirming by auscultaion by pediatrician.
Fruits and curd can be given if fresh.
Avoid sweets and chocolates and chilled foods.
