Hi, asthalin inhaler is safe to use in children. Infact it is the commonest inhaler used in wheezing patients. Wheezing problems in children tend to decrease as child grow, usually 90 percent of children improve by the age of 10 years, so the inhaler should gradually be tapered as the child grows and symptoms decrease. I hope this has helped you.
