Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thanks for putting your query in hcm. Honey tusq is the syrup which I found very useful in my patients. Continue with asthalin as it is bronchodilator. Also give some decongestant like syp atarax. For dose read the label on the syrup as it will be according to weight. I hope I have answered your query and this will help him. Wish him a good health
