Brief Answer:
Viral bronchitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You seem to be suffering from viral bronchitis with constricted airways. To releive the congestion and excess mucus I suggest the following
Syrup ASCORIL 10ml thrice a day
Steam inhalation with KARVOL vasocaps in the water of the steam
Avoid cold foods and drinks especially from the refrigerator.

Thank you.

Tab Allercet-DC was recommended to me by a fellow doctor. Will Ascoril syrup interact with this medication?

Brief Answer:
Allergic rhinitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your problem did not restrict to upper airway it seems to trickle down the throat into larger lower airways. So I suggest Ascoril. Allercet DC is for allergic rhinitis or eosinophilia.
They do not interact but it is not recommended to use non specific drugs at a time.
