Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Ascoril syrup and Montek LC kid are safe for your daughter.
Asthalin nebulistion will give prompt relief.
If the cough is severe and not controlled with above measures,a trial with steroids with the advice of your pediatrician provides better control.
Antibiotics are not needed as this is a viral infection.
