I know, dealing with possible food allergies really bites. LALALALALALA...
I see Mucinex makes a few that only contain guaifenesin (ie, doesn't say "COUGH" on the front)... a grape syrup and "mini-melts" for kids... I bet there's even a generic version available some places. I take at least 2400 mg when I'm sick, the maximum dose, and it always helps (AND I have never had any side effects... well, other than extra-slippery EWCM around ovulation but that's not a concern to Robin... haha.) Actually I should probably just start taking it every day. Couldn't hurt.
Re: protein... yeah, there's the rub. :-/ Does she like eggs? Hard-boiled ones, for instance? They're a great cheap non-dairy source of protein. Also, nuts aren't bad... nut butters or whole nuts if she's good at the chewing... or I've known some people who even mix rice-based protein powder into non-dairy milks on the sly, just to get extra protein in their kids... :)
