A member asked:
6 yo has bronchitis. just gave him albuterol in nebulizer and his cough is really bad after treatment . it sounds productive though. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is normal to: cough more right after a nebulization treatment. The medication loosens up the mucous in the airway passages. However, if he is wheezing more or having difficulty breathing, or he seems to need a treatment in less than 2 hours, you should call his pediatrician. He may need to be re-checked and/or his medications adjusted.
