Is Nebulization Safe For A 3 Year Old?

How safe is it to nebualise a child. My son is 3.8 yrs old. after every 2-3 months he catches cold and cough(wheezing ). Then his doctor recommends different medicines like (tixylix aerodyne azithral ) plus nebs with salbair I and flohale. He is perfectly fine after all this medication. Can i nebualise him in the starting itself , instead of giving medicines. He has history of febrile seizure.

Hi, welcome to HCM. Can understand your concerns. Nebulisation is safe in children but it should not be given unnecessarily and without examination and recommendation by doctor.
