Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Thanks for your query.

Tixilex contains glycerol which soothens his throat and thus a good cough relief.At 9 months (3 to 12 months) your son can take one 5ml spoonful at a time.Doses may be given 3 to 4 times daily by mouth as required. Allow 3 to 4 hours between doses. If the condition does not get better in 3 days, consult your doctor since he might need further evaluation & work up.

Regards
Dr. Praveen
