A member asked:

I have this same question. my daughter is doing a lot of coughing, no wheezing, and has a runny nose. would the nebulizer and albuterol be helpful?

Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Mgt: Since she has a history of using Albuterol, you can try one dose to see if it helps her cough. During a cold, keeping her nose clear using nasal saline, suction or blowing her nose can help to reduce post nasal drip.
