Pediatrician, Surgery 's  Response
Many thanks for writting.
there is not really evidence based medicine for salbutamol but it helps sometimes.
you can give normal saline nebulizer for cough and cold, which is quite safe.
normal saline nasal drops can be used for the same purposes.
I find this answer helpful
