Inhalers like Levolin are known to cause irritability and tremors as a side effect. Bricarex syrup and Telekast are good substitutes as they too have bronchodilator properties but these drugs are not as effective as Levolin.

So I suggest you see a pulmonologist/chest physician before you switch over to Bricarex and Telekast and see if he is clinically free of wheeze.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me.
