Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Maxtra is a combination of Chlorpheniramine and Phenylephrine and is used for allergic symptoms. You can take maxtra to your baby and it is safe in infants older than two months.
It can cause blurring of vision in adults on large doses and it is transient will revert soon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
