Brief Answer:
Please stop Ascoril and use Coscopin - she needs to be checked for wheeze

Hi....I suggest you stop Ascoril and start Coscopin. Don't give both.

But please get back to your pediatrician because she needs to be checked if she has git wheeze.

Sir, today l visit to another doctor, he prescribed ONIMAR PD, XXXXXXX JUNIOR & LORIN SYRUP. ( not change ADVENT SYRUP) . so sir your opinion?

Brief Answer:
No need for 3 medicines stick on to what the first doctor has told

Detailed Answer:
Hi.... I suggest that you stick on to the medicines which the first doctor has prescribe. There is no need to add on three medicines like this for simple cough and cold. I also suggest you to stop the antibiotic advent.

This looks like a viral illness and does not require any antibiotic like advent.
