I would advise against giving Ascoril syrup for her dry cough. Ascoril contains ingredients meant to clear mucus in wet, chesty coughs, so it may not help a dry cough. More importantly, her mild ear pain alongside a cough could suggest a middle ear infection, which requires a physical examination. I gently recommend having her evaluated by a pediatrician to find the exact cause. In the meantime, keep her well-hydrated with warm water and use a cool-mist humidifier to soothe her throat. Please consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

Is it safe to give Ascoril syrup to my 7-year-old daughter who has a severe dry cough and mild ear pain, or what should I do?
