Can nebulizing with normal seline help with chest congestion in toddlers? what are some tips for clearing severe chest congestion in 3 yrs old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nebulizing with: saline will help just as much as a humidifier/vaporizer. It sounds like the child needs to be checked by a doctor to see if there is a bronchitis or asthma/wheezing. The treatment for those things is different and needs an evaluation.
