Answer |
There is no role of plain saline nebulisation. In croup, racemic adrenaline nebulisation is preferred. The reglar adrenaline may work but may cause rebound phenonemon on stopping. The frequency of nebulisation would depend on the symptoms and with monitoring of adverse effects keeping a fine balance between therapeutic effect and adverse effect.
