Hi and Welcome.
I appreciate your concern for your beloved son.

This medicine is commonly prescribed for airway diseases like asthma, bronchitis and emphysema to improve the breathing and for easy expulsion of thick sputum.

Therefore useful in the treatment of chest congestion in the conditions mentioned above. It is not the right medicine for a throat infection.

Ascoril contains 3 components (Terbutaline, Bromohexine & Guafenesin)
management of cough associated with respiratory disorders.

This medication is a bronchodilator (helps in opening of the narrow airways) and mucolytic (converts thick sputum into a watery thin fluid) which helps in its easy removal by the process of coughing.

Hope to have answered your query.

Regards.
