Those symptoms indicate an asthma exacerbation which can worsen quickly. If your child is still having those symptoms, seem emergency care as soon as possible.

The response to the nebulized treatment is important information. The nebs may be repeated if she is still having respiratory difficulty. If she remains uncontrolled, please see urgent care or the Emergency room, depending on how severe the flare up is. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and distress. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available and please follow up with your Pediatrician.
