Albuterol/nebulizer Use for a 5 Month Old
My 19 week old daughter was just recently diagnosed with reactive airway disorder. My 5 yr old also has the same issue. Both are currently on breathing treatments..MY QUESTION: is anyone else using albuterol in a nebulizer (.083% or 2.5mg/3mL albuterol sulfate) on their infant? My doctor told me to give her albuterol (1 full ampule) 3xday and pulmicort (1/2 ampule) 2xday. I don't know how comfortable I am using albuterol on the infant when it can cause increased heart rate, nervousness, etc..and its hard to look for these signs in a 5 month...
