Brief Answer:
You need to discuss with your doctor before giving this medicine

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Maxtra contains two ingredients chlorpheniramine maleate and phenylephrine. Phenylephrine is generally not prescribed for babies less than 2 year old, thus its dose is not available. So, I would suggest discussing with your doctor before you give your child the medicine. If your doctor suggests, 1 ml twice daily is the dose to be given.

Hope that helps.
