Hi...Ventorlin is a medicine which is given for wheezing. If you feel that your child is having wheeze associated with severe cough and breathlessness you can give ventorlin as medicine till you see your pediatrician. Sometimes ventorlin can cause increased heart rate if given in excess dose. But as your pediatrician has already suggested nebulization, I see that your kid is having wheeze so you can go ahead and give ventolin.
But get back to your doctor as soon as possible.
