HelloDiagnosis is established, and your son is taking nebulizer and other medicines for asthma. Still he feels tightness or congestion in the chest. ASTHMA sufferers may complain of s variety of symptoms, none of which is specific for asthma. Wheeze, shortness of breath, cough, chest tightness. Since your son is still having tightness in chest, it means either diagnosis is wrong or Chat Doctor.  When such patient visit my clinic I advise them to take montelukast+ albuterol tablet once or twice in a day depending upon the severity of disease or symptoms. I also advise them to take terbutalin+ guaiphenesin+ aerosol+ menthol syrup 2 T S F two times in a day. Hot coffee and steam inhalation also help in this type of cases. Since this is a prescription medicine, so please consult a physician and get his prescription. Good luck.
