Brief Answer:
Please let me know the body weight of your child

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

To be able to suggest appropriate dose, I would need to know the body weight of your child. Let me know and I will guide you accordingly.

Rather than Ascoril D, I would prefer plain Ascoril or Ascoril LS. The D is for Dextromethorphan which acts in reverse direction as Ascoril.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
