Hello,
You can take albuterol inhaler at an interval of 4-6 hours as per your requirement.
You should keep the head end of your bed raised while you sleep. It will help you with dilatation of your airways.
You can always consult your physician if your wheezing persists.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
