Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As you have rightly pointed out both medicines are related to cough. Tuspel plus is a bronchodilator and an expectorant whereas relent plus contains antihistamine and mucolytic drugs.

If your problem is only cold and cough you may continue relent plus. Both syrups need not be given but a rational alternative is sinarest syrup if associated with fever. If no fever sinarest AF syrup given 3 times daily.

Hope this answer will serve your purpose. Please feel free to ask any more queries if required.

Take care.

Regards,
