Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you can give mucolite drops.
No harm in it. You should give 4-5 drops three times a day.
Along with this, you should also watch for fever, worsening chest congestion, rapid and shallow breathing, perspiration, decreased urine output etc.
If any of the above mentioned symptom appear then don't wait at home, immediately rush ti pediatrician.
At present, give mucolite drops 4-5 drops three times a day.
