A member asked:
Can i use sodium chloride 3% sterile vials for my son to use in the nebulizer for a croupy cough? he's 2.5 with no wheeze but heavy breathing
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure : Yes, try a treatment for 10 to 15 minutes, this should soothe the croupy cough. Luckily he is old enough that his airway is big enough to not be at risk of serious airway trouble from croup like the smaller toddlers. Best of luck!
