6yr/o had tonsilectomy few days ago and started wheezing i gave him nebulizer treatments and helps at time but comes back. normal after surgey?

Asthma: He is probably having an asthma exacerbation that is related to the surgery. If the nebulizers keep the wheezing under control great. If you have to do more frequently than 4 hour nebulizer treatments, you should contact your family doctor. He may need a steroid boost. I hope this helped. Good luck!
