Hello, Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Ascoril contains terbutalin which will help the patient to get rid of excessive secretions by dilatation of air ways. By this way, it gives faster relief from cough and expectoration.
You should definitely give your child this medicine in your case. It is generally given in dose of 2.5 ml two times a day but I would advise you to consult your doctor for exact dosage as it needs to be calculated based on the weight of the child & which strength of syrup you are giving.
Hope this will be helpful.
Thanks for your question. Take care.
