How Safe Is Albuterol And Nebulizer For Bronchitis?
my son is 7 weeks old and has bronchiolitis and is using albuterol with a nebulizer. is it possible that this could give him bad, smelly gas? i know all babies get gas but normally its not painful or frequent and never smells nearly as bad as it does now.

Bronchial tree are more prone to constrict in childhood.

So,don't worry at all.It is a safe drug.
Get well soon.
