At 9 months of age, a long-standing cough that is worse in the morning is often allergic in nature. In allergic conditions, secretions are usually watery and may drain backward (post-nasal drip), which can trigger coughing.
Ascoril is an expectorant, and the ambroxol component may sometimes increase coughing by loosening secretions. Since there is no fever, the cough does not appear to be infective or truly wet.
It may be better to stop the syrup and consider alternative remedies or a different combination of medications. However, a clinical re-examination is advisable.
At 9 months of age, physiological hypertrophy (such as mild adenoidal enlargement) can be present and is normal.
