Macbery Junior Expectorant Health Feed

Ideally expectorants are not used for infants but still if you are using then dose is 5ml 8 to 12 hourly as per levosalbutamol which is not easy to give.

Inhalers are must in the treatment of asthma. Do not stop them until suggested by a doctor. You can take expectorant along with inhalers.

The weight of the baby is important in deciding the dosage and not the age. However, you can give 2.5 ml thrice daily, safe;y.

Expectorants are of two types:
mucolytics: which thin out tenacious mucoid secretions in the airways
mucokinetics or “expectorants”: they help the clearance of mucus by making coughing easier
both should not be prescribed in dry cough as they are known to aggravate cough.
However, wet cough is due to the secretions in the airways and should never be suppressed. Mucokinetics are used in this case which makes coughing easier.
Mucokinetics are not combined with antitussives....more

Ascoril ls is an expectorant. It helps in coughing out mucus etc responsible for cough .you can give it for 10 -12 days & then if still not resolved, you can consult a pediatrician.

First get PFT test done to confirm brochial spasm.If spasm confirmed and then get post bronchodialator PFT . If reversiblity confirmed then take some inhaled medicine as adv. by resp. specialist. All expectorant are equalent to plenty of fluid intake.

It may cause side effect related to heart beat and other stimulant effect. I suggest to consult pediatrician.
