Brief Answer:
They are not antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
Hello, I understand your concern..Both these medications are not antibiotics.
Mucolite is not licensed in this age group.
Levolin is of questionable efficacy in this age group as the receptors in lungs may not be responsive.
To be XXXXXXX no cough and cold medicine should be used in this age group.
For nasal congestion I suggest you use only saline nasal drops please.
