A. For a 3-month-old baby, it is generally not recommended to give any medication, including cold and cough syrup, without consulting a pediatrician. Babies this young are very sensitive, and medications that may have been safe for an older child or even your first boy may not be safe for your newborn. Maxtra syrup, in particular, is usually prescribed by doctors for children above 6 months old due to its specific ingredients. However, in certain cases, a doctor might prescribe it in a lower dosage for younger infants, but this should only be done under medical supervision. I recommend contacting your pediatrician to discuss the symptoms and get an appropriate dosage or alternative treatment recommendation. Additionally, for mild cold and cough, some non-medicinal measures can help: - Keeping the baby hydrated with breast milk or formula. - Using a humidifier in the room. - Ensuring the baby gets plenty of rest. - Keeping the baby's head slightly elevated to help with congestion. Please consult your pediatrician before administering any medication.
