<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi doctor. My son is 2.5 years old, we are on a holiday and he had a cold for a couple of days but now his chest is heavily congested. We called for Ascoril but it s Ascoril expectorant. Am confused now, is this the one for Kids and if yes what s the dosage I can give him?? Kindly advice.  <response>: Hi...you can give Astoria Expectorant as you are traveling and have nothing else in hand now. But please do remember that 95 of kids cough and colds are viral, and they tend to get better in 2-3 days by themselves. There is a possibility that he might get fever too. Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15 mgkgdose Maximum ceiling dose 500 mg per dose every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol. Regards -
