Pediatrician,  's  Response
Most of such cough and cold are due to viral infections which also have an allergic component. Maxtra is an antiallergic and gives relief if given for a few days. Mucolite helps in diluting cough. I would prefer giving steam inhalation for the dilution of cough. Water in the form of vapour reaches deep into the lungs and dlutes the cough and provides relief. Crocin drops contain paracetamol and need to be given for fever. It can be given at minimum interval of 3-4 hours. Such episodes of cough generally resolve in 5-7 days but you might need a few days time before you feel the effect of the medicines.
