Brief Answer:
Dosage mentioned.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Most often such symptoms are due to viral infections which last for 5-7 days irrespective of treatment. My suggestions for you would be:
* Continue Honeytus till the cough resolves.
* Give Ambrodil-S 5 ml thrice daily for 3-5 days. If you give Ambrodil-S I would advise not to give Tossex as the two work in opposite direction.
* Give Levolin Syr. if there is wheezing or respiratory distress. Alternatively it can be given 5 ml thrice daily for 3 days and then as required.

Regards
