Do not give: No you cannot. Please do not do it as the nebulizer solution meant for the nebulizer not for oral intake.

Asthma: Unfortunately not. The inhaled agents works by the bringing the misted medication into the alveoli down deep in the lungs and relaxing the smooth muscles there and treating the swelling there also other medications like the awful and pills to work by getting to the lung tissue these of the the bloodstream but the inhaler agents do not. Inhale steroid medications used as steroid pills Will work instead
