My 9 month old baby has been advised to take salbutamol for past three weeks since he has severe cough and cold. is it safe? he does not have wheezing

Not used in Kids: Here in the US the drug is not used in kids.It is a long acting product that has not met the safety guidelines of our Food and Drug administration for infant/toddler/early school age. Shorter acting albuterol is often used in such situations.
