Hi...this fever is not a side effect of Levolin Nebulization. But it is not safe to give nebulization with a home nebulizer without an oxygen source like wall mount oxygen supply or oxygen cylinder. I suggest you shift over to metered dose inhaler rather than a nebulizer. If you still prefer to use a b=nebulizer you can give the same dose you mentioned every 4th hourly or 6th hourly based on the kid's wheezing.
