When medications like Ascoril, Lupituss, and Astalin haven't brought relief. It is reassuring that your fever is gone and blood tests are normal. For a lingering cough, you should consult a Pulmonologist (chest specialist) or an Allergist. Sometimes, airway sensitivity or mild inflammation can persist long after the initial infection has cleared. A specialist can help identify the exact cause and find the right target treatment for you. Please rest assured that post-viral coughs are very common and highly treatable.

The most likely cause is the intense coughing associated with COVID-19. Severe coughing can easily irritate your throat and break tiny, delicate blood vessels in your airways, leading to specks of blood. Your medications, including Ascoril + and Montair LC, are very unlikely to cause this. However, since you are recovering from COVID-19, it is important to rest and stay hydrated. If the blood increases, turns bright red, or you experience chest pain or shortness of breath, please consult your doctor promptly for a physical evaluation.

Looking at your options, none of these specific medications are designed to directly treat a sore throat. Ascoril LS (levosalbutamol, ambroxol, and guaiphenesin) is for chesty coughs. Relent Plus (ambroxol and cetirizine) and Hicet-DC (cetirizine and phenylephrine) are meant for allergies and congestion. Taking them now will not provide much relief. Instead, I gently recommend soothing home remedies like warm salt-water gargles and staying well-hydrated. If your throat pain worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for a suitable treatment.

Since it has been getting worse over the week and hasn't improved with cough drops, Ascoril, or Kuffdryl, it is really important that you see a healthcare provider for a physical exam. They can listen to your lungs to check for underlying causes like bronchitis. In the meantime, please try to rest, stay well-hydrated with warm fluids, and use a humidifier to soothe your throat. Please seek professional medical care soon so you can get the right targeted treatment and start feeling much better.

It is common for infections to cause night fevers, and her sleepiness could be from the illness itself or a side effect of the cough medications like Ascoril LS. However, because she still has a fever after three days and seems very dull, it is very important to have her evaluated by her pediatrician today. They can check her chest and ensure she is safe. Please keep her hydrated and continue paracetamol (P 250) as prescribed. Seek immediate emergency care if she has difficulty breathing.

Cough formulations like Ascoril LS (which contains levosalbutamol, ambroxol, and guaifenesin) and herbal preparations like tulsi kadha are also not recommended for babies without a doctor's direct prescription. Since the symptoms have lasted for ten days, the safest step is to have a pediatrician evaluate your baby. To help soothe their throat in the meantime, continue offering plenty of breast milk or formula feeds to keep them comfortable and hydrated. Your pediatrician will provide the best care plan.
