Can my 2 month old use an nebulizer with albuterol 2.5ml? she sounds so congested and i've been cleaning her nose with saline solution for a month

U can use nebulizer: U can use nebulizer on ur 2 month old child. Have u seen a pediatrician about her problems? U need to find a cause if possible. Are u breast feeding or is she taking a formula? If formula, changing the formula to a soy formula may reveal cows milk allergy. If she is wheezing with whistling sounds then the albuterol will help. Because of her age u shd take these actions with guidance of her doctor

Nasal wash: At 2mo the primary cause of congestion is the environment. House dust, fragrance, perfumes,cleaning products all leave scents that may not bother you but irritate a babies nose. A good nasal clean out with saline can remove much of this irritant load, but removing the offending irritants from babies life helps more in the long run.Air particle filters can also help.No nebs without doc visit
