How safe is using a nebulizer for a baby, and whats the correct method to give it? My doctor recommended using Asthalin (the small sachet type bottle) for 5 minutes, then stopping for 15 minutes, and repeating for at least 3 times, twice a day. Is this safe, or could it be harmful to my babys heart?
Administering nebulization with Asthalin (salbutamol) via a nebulizer is generally safe for babies when done correctly and under medical supervision; the recommended dosing schedule of 5 minutes of nebulization, followed by a 15-minute break, repeated for a total of 3 cycles, twice a day, is a common and effective regimen; however, it's essential to monitor your baby's heart rate and overall condition during and after nebulization, as salbutamol can increase heart rate and cause palpitations;
