Wheezing: Please use the inhaler Albuterol 1-2 puffs every few hours for wheezing. Try not to exceed 8 puffs/one day. For his wet cough, continue the antibiotic as prescribed. If he develops fever, a chest image may be obtained as indicated. The use of an oral steroid in the short term may provide relief. Stay home, provide fluids and contact your PCP. A virtual consultation is available online from HT.
