Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have cough and congestion and difficulty in breathing which is due to upper respiratory tract infection. Visit pediatrician once and get your child examined. You should get blood tests and sputam tests done. Maxtra and levolin syrup as given to child is a safe combination except it will make child drowsy. I would suggest you to consult pediatrician for proper examination as infection has already spread. You should get throat swab test , viral culture test , complete blood profile to find out extent of infection. You should start with antibiotic such as augmentin along with decongestants and anti inflammatory such as Levocetrizine . For now do warm saline gargles. Take steam inhalation. Take proper rest , keep yourself hydrate. Maintain hygiene. Take diet rich in multivitamins.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
