A member asked:
Can nebulizing only with seline be helpful in releasing congestion due to upper respitory infection in a 4 yrs old?

Sometimes: I have often suggested this for families who have the machine available.An unopened/dedcated bottle of nasal saline can work, and some pharmacies carry saline for nebulizer. It may help loosen thick mucus in the airways and can do so without the side effects in albuterol.
