Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
What your friends told is correct,these medicines are given for wheezing.
These medicines are given for asthma as well as bronchiolitis.
If there is family history of asthma and recurrent attacks of wheezing it is bronchial asthma.
If there is no family history and this is the first attack you may think of bronchiolitis.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
