A member asked:

Should a 2 month be taking albuterol for mild wheezing and cold ?

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Maybe: Albuterol treats airway spasm. Airway spasm can occur at any age. One can judge if albuterol is needed by assessing if there is any improvement with an albuterol treatment.
