Is Nebulization Necessary If No Breathing Trouble Exists?
Hi doc,
My mother aged 70 years has breathing difficulties and was on nebulizer from 1 year. The medicine used are duolin, bodecort and asthalin. 10 days back she admitted to hospital for wet caugh and breathing difficulties.. she got discharge from hospital with nebulization advise of 2 times in day (morning and evening) using duolin. Today I brought her to SIngapore from India. She is doing well here as the weather is good here and has no breathing difficulties. Does she need nebulization here as she is doing well now, please advice. Thanks.
