Question 5

My doctor suggested giving my child a nebulizer with Duolin and Budecort. Can I mix them together or should I give them separately? His oxygen levels are around 92-93 without the oxygen mask. Is this something to worry about?

You can mix Duolin and Budecort in the nebulizer, as they are often used together to help with breathing. However, it's important to follow your doctor's instructions on the exact doses and timing.
