Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, these drugs are appropriate for her symptoms.
Hifen plus is antibiotic, it is given for infection.
Deriphyllin retard is bronchodilator, it is given for cough. Grilictus is cough suppressant. Allegra is having fexofenadine. It is also given for cough.
Happi D is antacid. It is given to prevent drug related gastritis.
All these drugs are appropriate.
And tests prescribed are also necessary to rule out pneumonia.
So don't worry, give her these drugs and carry out tests advised.
