Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Ventrolin contain Albuterol as the active ingredient. It is not recommended for children below the age of two years. it will not provide satisfactory results in kids below the age of two years. You can try Benedryl or Asthalin syrups which are safe and effective for children below the age of two. If symptoms persist, you have to consult a pediatrician and antibiotics may needed.

Hope I have answered your query.
