Quick Tips
Do not give Mucolite Drops if your child has a dry cough. Give plenty of fluids as it helps to loosen and expel the mucus. Avoid giving dairy and caffeinated products, spicy and fried food to your child as all these may irritate the airways and trigger coughing. A teaspoon of honey may also help to ease out a cough reflex. Ask your child to gargle with warm salt water as it eases the expelling of mucus. Ensure your child takes enough rest. Do not give this medicine to your child for a long term without consulting your child’s doctor. Never combine Mucolite Drops with other cold and flu medicines as that may increase the chances of side effects.
