Hi. My daughter is of 2.6 years and she regularly gets cough and cold with wheezing sounds. Her doctor has prescribe for nebuliser with levolin. And she gets good results with it. I want to ask can I give mextra syrup along with nebuliser. Also how can i prevent her from getting cough and cold so frequent. It’s like after every 15 days she is sick with same cough n cold. Is it because of pollution or poor immunity.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Anti histaminics like Maxtra can be combined with bronchodilators like Levolin. They help the child symptomatically. The cause for common cold as you know is self limiting viral infections. Bronchodilators are useful if the child develops a sensitive respiratory tract that causes spasm of the airways during the infection or sometimes after the infection. As these viruses spread through air they are extremely contagious and the only way of prevention is following the general hygiene measures like hand washing, controlled coughing and sneezing, avoiding over crowded places, safe handling of kids with common cold, watching for danger signs and early consultation of pediatrician in case of any doubts.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
