Brief Answer:
5ml of Levolin syrup is ideal for him but nebulization is better

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

A child of 6 years of age and 17 kg weight can safely be given Levolin Syrup 5 ml thrice daily should be the ideal dose for your child. Please note that nebulization with Levolin is a better option for wheezing, than giving oral syrup.

Hope that helps.
