hi, Tixylix is a good syrup for chest congestion but it can very well cause GI symptoms in the form of gas and loose stools. Mucolite syp again is a decongestant used for similar purpose but has the same side effect profile in form of mild GI disturbances.
The dose for mucolite(Ambroxol) is 30-80mg/kg/day. Give your child 2.5 ml three times a day. Also give syp levocetrizine 2.5 ml once a day to reduce running nose and decrease secretions.
