Is Nebulization Better Than Giving Levolin To A Toddler?
My child is 3 years old. He is having cold from past one month and doctor prescribed antibiotics twice in this period. Now last night he had terrible wheezing due to which he was nebulised this morning and also been treated with levolin syrup. My query is whether levolin syrup is steroidal? If yes, is it better to nebulise him rather than giving levolin syrup?

Hi, levolin is not steroid. It is just a bronchodilator...
If the kid is suffering from so much cold then he could be have issues with season change... Nebulisation also we do not give more then three days . Nebulisation also we use similar medication as levolin and we also recommend steroid. Steroid is a protector and gives quick relief... There is no harm in using when required.
Hope your query is answered..
