Brief Answer:
Continue the ongoing treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through the details and understand your concern. Most often such symptoms are due to viral infections and antibiotics are ineffective in such cases. Antibiotics would not help and irrespective of treatment it usually spontaneously resolves in 5-7 days. Some children are more prone to catching cold and recurrent episodes are seen. Such infections are frequently associated with an allergic component and the elevation in Immunoglobulin (possibly IgE) confirms this propensity.
The mentioned medicines are good and proper and you can continue them without worries. Ascoril LS is good and effective (better than Ascoril D). You can also continue Montair LC Kid. Continue nebulization or steam inhalation as your options permit.
Regards
