A member asked:

If my 4 year old had albuterol nebulizer treatment an hour ago, can i still give him his prescription hydroxyzine 10mg/5ml for postnasaldrip cough now?

Dr. Oscar Novick answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Salt water nose drop: Hydroxazine has a drying effect and could dry the secretions in your childs chest counteracting the effect of the albuterol. Therefore, i would use saline nose drops for his nose.
