Brief Answer:
It's not a documented side effect but may dry up the stool.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX,

There is no specific mention of constipation as a sideffect of the drug but in some it may do so as it makes the stool dry.

You may give more fluids to the child along with fruits like banana and Apple to increase the fibre in her diet.

If she is alright now , You may stop the medicine.

Another cough syrup of the same category is broncorex. If required, You may try that.

Take care.
