Common cold and chesty cough

2021-11-08 12:00:25
My son is suffering from common cold and chesty cough past two days. We have been giving him Maxtra syrup 3ml three times after food. But it is not providing any relief and he is not sleeping due to constant cough throughout night. Please suggest better medication?
