Brief Answer:
yes, you can take.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I think you are having post infection cough.
If you feel that you are having mucus in your lungs (secretion), then you can take mucolytic. It will dilute the secretions,and expectoration will be easier.
But if you are having simple dry cough, then no need to take mucolytic.
So if you feel secretions in your lungs then you can take mucolytic. No harm in it.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
