Brief Answer:
You may give these medicines as required

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

For a child of child of 26 kg weight, it is acceptable to give one tablet of Montek LC (contains monteleukast 10 mg and levocetirizine 5mg) once a day to be given for a few days or continued if required. Giving Montek LC Kid (contains monteleukast 4 mg and levocetirizine 2.5mg) once a day may be suggested by some doctors and may be acceptable too but I prefer the former. About Ascoril LS syrup 5 ml twice or thrice a day for a few days should be reasonable.

Hope that helps.

Regards
Dr. Diptanshu Das
