It is their med?: Was the medication prescribed for the 5 yr old? Albuterol is a strong medication that can have significant side effects. It should not be used by anyone unless a Dr has seen them and diagnosed them with a condition requiring this specific medication. Typically in a child this young with asthma, bronchiolitis or wheezing the Dr will prescribe a nebulizer machine which aerosolizes the medication.
