Hello
Ascoril Flu Syrup is a symptomatic medicine that helps relieve cough, cold, and congestion. Contains ingredients like chlorpheniramine, paracetamol, phenylephrine. It does not treat the infection itself, but eases symptoms. If antibiotics (like azithromycin) have been given, they help reduce contagiousness, especially if started early.
Ascoril Flu is usually not first-line in infants under 1 year, due to potential side effects (like drowsiness or thickened secretions).
Ensure baby is up to date on vaccinations, including DTaP.
Close contacts (including adults) may need Tdap booster if not already taken, to reduce transmission.
Next Steps
Frequent breastfeeding or fluids to keep baby hydrated.
Steam inhalation (in the room) can help loosen mucus.
Hold baby upright during coughing episodes.
Keep baby away from smoke, dust, and strong smells.
