Brief Answer:
YES you can take the same medicine

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Yes you can take the same medicine. However ascoril is for cough and it should be taken only if it is present.

You can take the rest medications.

I would also suggest that you gargle with chlorhexidine gargles thrice a day and take steam inhalation thrice a day

Get well soon

Take care
