Hi, welcome to our site. I am Chat Doctor, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and I appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your queryPlease understand the following things-1. Nebulizers are for different medicines. Some medicines are steroids and others are non-steroidal medicines known as bronchodilators.2. Maybe your baby was having too much wheeze. In that case iv is a better form to give the medicine. However, I would still continue the nebulizers.3. You should not self-medicate. A baby may not need steroids which you may be giving the child because you are on it, and because you have limited knowledge of the medicines (obvious from the query)Suggest get an x-ray chest of the baby. I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other, so I can be of help further. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you. Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)Best of luck.
