Brief Answer:
Cough after flu can last upto 1 month

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

The seasonal flu this year is causing cough/mucous that lasts for a long time, even after the fever has gone.

There is nothing to worry and there is no need to continue ascoril and alerid syrups.

She will get better soon. If there are any other symptoms then please let me know.

Wish your child great health.
