You can complain to consumer court if only you can prove that the syrup you have in your hand was given only by the shop. They will argue that you had take a different syrup from somewhere else where as they had given correct prescription drug

Hello lybrate-user.
Ascoril is just a cough suppressant and have many side effects.
It should not be used.
Better take homoeopathic treatment to avoid recurrence and side effects.

Children at this age do tend to catch frequent infections and this helps them build immunity. Please try to avoid antibiotics unless it is unavoidable such as if the child needs admission. Symptomatic treatment like with fever medicines and cough syrup should suffice in most occasions.
