Trembling: Jitterriness are normal side effects of ventolin syrup . Bad breath in a ten weeks old is not normal but the colds your baby has is a possible cause. Check back with your pediatrician if this persist

GEt it checked now: It may be a simple and harmless tremor from muscle fatigue or normal movement, or a side effect from the syrup, or even something serious like a seizure. Ventolin syrup can have tremor as a side effect - it works a bit like caffeine. But just in case, i would stop the ventolin and have your baby checked right away if the tremor is continuing or if there is other trouble breathing.
