Can children with coughs use a nebulizer?

Patient's question:

In the autumn, my son's cough and asthma problems returned again. Should I use a nebulizer?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Most cases of pediatric bronchitis are complications caused by viral infections such as the common cold and influenza, although it can also be caused by bacterial infections. It is a common acute upper respiratory infection in children. If there is a bacterial infection, antibiotics can be used. If there is no bacterial infection, it can be treated with irinotecan or through inhalation therapy.
There are many factors that can cause pediatric bronchial asthma. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric bronchial asthma, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, follow gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
