Brief Answer:
Unlikely to cause any major side effect but observe your child.

Detailed Answer:
Hi & Welcome.
I appreciate your concern for the safety of Relent Plus when taken in larger dose.
It is unlikely to cause any major side effect.

The prescribed medication contains antihistamine Cetrizine & mucolytic expectorant Ambroxol & it may cause restlessness, irritability and drowsiness with vomiting, diarrhea, if taken in slightly larger doses.

If she develops the symptoms mentioned above she needs to be evaluated by a doctor for further management.

As long as she does not develop any symptom suggestive of overdose, nothing to worry. Give her plenty of oral fluids, juice, etc.

Rest be assured there is no cause for concern.

Best regards.
