IS It Safe To Use Nebulizer For A 3 Years Old With Adrenaline And Polmicor?

Hi, My daughter is almost 3. Out of desperation last night we nebulized her with adrenaline and polmicor referred by a family member with a niece with croup. She is still not herself but showing signs of recovery. Should I just keep dosing her at home or should we rather consult with a doctor?C De Villiers

Thank you for asking question.
See nebulisation is needed in many conditions.
First we have to see what conpkaints she got; if its acute laryngotracheobronchitis then adrenaline is indicated.
There is no harm of nebulisation as it is directly absobed through lungs.
But yes adrenaline should be given under observation.
Hope you fibd this helpful.
