Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query in HCM.I undertand your concerns.
Lanzol junior tablet is a proton pump inhibitor aimed at reducing the gastric acid secretion. It will help only if a bad acid reflux into the upper esophagus and the throat is precipitating the cough.

As your son is having dysentry and not gastritis,it may not be the proper medication for your son.So,you need to consult your treating paeditrician for the change of medications for the above.

Usually a course of antibiotics containing ofloxacin and tinidazole will subside the symptoms.

Hope you are happy with the answer.

Thank you
