A member asked:

What is the first aid of asthma attack for a 3 year old toddler?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Asthma: Albuterol in the nebulized form. But if the attack is serious then calling 911 or getting to an emergency room is essential since death from asthma can happen rapidly if the attack is serious enough.
