Will Taking Ambrodil-s Reduce Cold And Cough ?

Hi Doctor,
Ambrodil-s is used for what purpose? Will it reduces cold or cough or chest congestion? Can we give Ascoril-LS Expectorant along with this?

My kid is 5.10yrs old having cold stuffy nose thick phlegm running through the nose. Can I give the above syrups. I gave him Ascoril-LS and Mextra for 3 days.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Since you are saying that your kid is having chest congestion, it is better to give Astoria LS expectorant instead of ascorbic s.
Expectorant have much lyric action and thus it relieves chest congestion.
So in productive cough (congestion) it is better to give expectorant syrup.
Astoria s being cough suppressant, will reduce the coughing and seceretion will not come out and can cause further infection. So better to give only ascorbic LS and don't give ascorbic s.
