Health Queries

My 6-month-old baby has had a cold and runny nose for 5 days and is having difficulty breathing. What should I do?

A 6-month-old with a cold, runny nose, and difficulty breathing needs urgent medical attention. Take your baby to the paediatrician or to the emergency care immediately, as breathing difficulties can be severe in infants.

He has a cold and a blocked nose when breathing. I am giving him Maxtra and Xyzal. Is this okay?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

Maxtra and Xyzal are generally safe for colds and a blocked nose, but since your father has high blood pressure, decongestants can raise blood pressure. It is better to consult his doctor before continuing Maxtra.
