Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
The dose of Taxim-O syrup is 8 mg/kg body weight in two divided doses for 3-5 days depending on the gravity of infection.
Cold and Flu are due to viral infection.
Taxim is an antibiotic and is not indicated for viral fever and cold.
Any cold syrup like Wickoryl will do.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
