NeedsRxForReflux: Your Baby needs treatment for reflux with Ranitidin,or Famotodin. Nebuliser in 3 month old is used for Asthma or Bronchitis with chest congestion and wheezing. It is safe if used appropriately and for the correct indication Discuss with your Doctor what he/she is using it for and what is being done for reflux If reflux is causing the asthma like symptoms it needs to be treated. Or consult PED GI
