I am glad he will be ok. I have had to call poison control about 4 times. They are so helpful. Good job on noticing that you gave him to much.
I accidentally gave my 10 month old 1 tsp of mucinex. He doesn't seem to have any strange reactions so far, should i be worried or call poison control?
I called Poison Control Center and they've adivsed me that there isn't much to worry about. To continue watching for symptoms, but more than likely they wouldn't develop and to keep him hydrated as he could experience some dry mouth. Just wanted to share in case others ran into this situation .

Hi, accidents like that do happen, but I would call Poison Control or your nearest ER. I don't know how long it's been since you gave it to him or what the dosage would be for a child his age IF he should take it at all. Most meds say to ask your Dr if under a certain age. You have to be very careful giving meds to a child that young. It's better to be safe calling them about it rather than have him start with some type of reaction all of a sudden.
Always call poison control if you aren't sure. They are super helpful.
If you are ever unsure of anything call your pediatrician or poison control or some other doctor. It's just a call and there is no shame in calling to protect your child. You are not bothering anyone. Call someone to make sure!!
I am sure he will be ok. If you are worried take him to the ER. It is better to over-react than to not react and just worry.

Call them NOW. There are different types of mucinex.
The plain purple bottle should be ok, I think, my son has been on mucinex since he was one and the only reason he was on it was because it had relatively litle side effects. Make sure he drinks alot of water afterwards as mucinex ccan act as a diuretic.
Lets us know how he is doing.
definatly call the pedi when this ever happens. even after hours they will call you back and let you know what to do. you can also call the hospital and ask to talk to the nursery nurse...they are there 24 hrs and will answer any of your questions. hope your baby is fine.
If concerned call poison control but I don't think anything will happen. Posion control is great and are very nice. I gave them a call once to ease my mind.
Call poision control and let your pediatrition known. Always check and double check dosage amount when giving to meds to infants. I truly wouldn't give that to an infant, cause they'll get over the cough eventually
