Asthma: Not responding to nebulizer treatment (what are your meds)could mean inadequate dosing , you need additional medications and /or something else is going on. Regardless, you need to call your doctor and discuss your condition and re-evaluation. He might order some labs, lung function or further diagnostic testings.
