Use honey base cough syrup.hony tus. I use lot of indian herbs and spices for cold cough. Kadda with ginger, cloves, full black pepper 3- 4 and jaggery . Boil water with these items .to bring water to 3/4 .Thisconccotion is best even for adults. You can add Tulsi, also.Steam inhalation works. You know how to give steam to kids. Put thechild on shoulder put on hot water in bathroom, open hot water thin stream . Stand close to tap . Both including baby can take steam .it is veryeffective and safe.

Maxtra is a very safe and good brand. It does not cause secretions. You can use Sinarest AF as an alternative
