Dear XXXXXXX
Hi & Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concern for your beloved father who seems to be having breathing problem.
You can use Salbutamol Nebulizer Solution through the nebulizer.
The usual starting dose is 2.5mg as a single dose. This may be increased to 5mg. Treatment may be repeated up to four times a day.
I advise him to be examined by a physician to rule out other causes of breathlessness like any heart disease or infection.
Hope I could answer your query. Should you need to ask, I shall be glad to answer your follow up query.
