Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, I think it's not serious and nothing to worry.

Usually 5 ml of syp ambrolite S contains 15 mg ambroxol and 1 mg salbutabol.

Considering above composition and his weight around 12 to 14 kg, you can give 6 to 7 ml syp. Ambroxol three times a day.

Along with that watch for symptoms fever, breathing difficulty, sore throat, cough with phlegm than I would suggest you to consult with pediatrician for detailed clinical examination.

He may procure relevant investigations and prescribe antibiotics as per evaluation.

Continue steam inhalation or nebulization. Keep him hydrated. Maintain proper hygiene.

Hope I have answered your query...
