Hi, Thanks for asking query on health care magic. Nebulisation can be given to children suffering from wheezing or asthma. To prove that your child is suffering from asthma he has to undergo pulmonary function tests. But he is not ripe for the same until he is 6 years old. Till such time you should depend on the clinical diagnosis. Hope this answer will serve your purpose. Please feel free to ask any more queries if required. Take care Dr.M.V.Subrahmanyam MD; DCH.
