Pediatrician 's  Response
It could be a case of childhood asthma or respiratory tract infection. It is hard to comment without examining or investigating. Nebulisation is good and you can get a nebuliser at home if recurrent usage is required. Asthalin is very frequently used and widely tolerated. The only side effect could be increased heart rate but usually it is not a cause of concern. I do not expect any long term side effects.
