Is it safe to nebulize a 4-month-old while sleeping?
Patient: My baby boy is 4 month old. My family Dr. Suggest me to nebulize with clenil compositum 3 time a day with gap of 8 hour and use singulair. He is suffering from cough and asthma. As well as chest infection. can i nebulize when he sleep ? And is it right medication for him ? Doctor: Hi,  It is safe to nebulize even when the baby is sleeping. But it should be done by oxygen and not from a nebulizer from room air. It is not safe. Nebulization should always be done with an oxygen source, please.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
