A member asked:

Albuterol sulfate makes my daughters nose stuffy, is this a normal side effect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usual: Most side effects are cardiovascular (ie: fast heart rate) or peripheral nervous system (shakiness) but occasionally there are allergic reactions with hives, hoarseness, difficulty breathing and a paradoxical worsening of bronchospasm. Stuffy nose alone Is not a common side effect.
