Tussalyte XP Syrup effectively treats wet cough (cough with mucus) in children. It helps in thinning the mucus by increasing its water content. This relieves throat irritation and clears congestion, enabling easy breathing in your child.
Give Tussalyte XP Syrup to your child orally, with or without food. Give it with food to reduce the chances of stomach upset. You may be required to give this medication to your child for a few days to weeks, depending upon your child’s clinical condition and severity of the illness. Do not stop the medication abruptly by yourself, even if your child starts to feel better. Continue the medication until the recommended course is complete. Do not give more than the recommended dose for fast relief as it may cause unwanted effects and worsen your child’s condition.
If your child vomits soon after taking Tussalyte XP Syrup, help the child calm down and repeat the same dose. Skip the dose if it is time for the next dose. Do not overdose to catch up for the missed one. Do not give this medication to your child for the long term without consulting your child’s doctor. Check the medication label thoroughly and never combine this medication with other cold and flu medications as that may lead to side effects.
