Cough syrup usage guidance
Doc prescribed for mucus cough ascoryl Ps to my 4 year old. I have used this medicine 3 months ago. Now his cough is back so the doctor has prescribed the same. I have opened this bottle 3 months back can I use this or discard and get a new one. I live in a remote location so the one shop here doesn't have this. They said they can get one in 3 days. So please help. Is it safe to use the existing one or has any side effects??
