Hello,
Nebuliser machine is indicated if she is unable to use inhalers.
Extra oral medication lke Unicontin-E 400 or 600mg at night helps along with Montelukast 10mg
For nebuliser, you need 2 respules of Salbutamol alternating with Ipratropium every 6 hours for a week or 10 days. Then you must switch to inhalers.
If she is still unable to use inhalers, nebuliser must be given 12 hours apart.
Best Wishes.
