I'm concerned, thoughare these meds safe to use every single day? And how long are we supposed to keep this up?

My little girl is 7 months and a few days old, and she weighs 8.8 kg. She's been having this dry cough, especially noticeable when she sleeps, but otherwise, she's doing great. When she was around 5 months, the doctor recommended maxtra syrup for her cough. Is it okay for me to give her the maxtra syrup now, and if so, what's the appropriate dose for her weight?

That could be due to allergy,try to identify the allergen and avoid it, visit Pediatrician for evaluation and appropriate management and corrected dose and frequency

How long do fevers last?

Fever is just a symptom of any underlying bacterial or viral infection and so, duration of fever depends on that particular causative organism. Usually, most fevers usually go away in 1 to 3 days in adults.
