Hello,
Wheezing child requires frequent nebulization, if baby is not improving despite steroid and nebulisation, he may require hospitalization.
Oral dosage of steroid and inhaler can be given at home, but further treatment in form of injections requires monitoring in hospital.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
