Dear Mr XXXX
Nebulization is safe and very helpful for respiratory tract infection. Normal Saline Nebulization is one which is recommended, it is free from side effects. I do not recommend any bronchidilator Nebulization.
Apart from Nebulization I would suggest you the following
1 Decoction : 1 cup of milk + 1 spoon of turmeric + 20 Tulsi leaves +2 spoon sugar. Bring it to boil. Filter it and feed baby warm thrice a day.
2. Normal Saline Nasal drops : 3 to 4 drops in each nose 6 times a day
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
Best regards
