Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M.Forum .
As child is a patient of allergic bronchitis .
Since , as you stated that most of cough has gone , so in my opinion continue asthalin syrup as it will take 2-3 more days for complete recovery .
As dilo B M 's ingredients are terbutaline + , so in my opinion this will cause mild tremors ( shivers ) in child , so not good .
Good luck.
