Comparison of Nebulizers vs Metered-Dose Inhalers With Spacer Device For Treatment Of Childhood Wheeze

This study aims to find out which is better for treating childhood wheeze: nebulizers or metered-dose inhalers (MDI) with spacer. Wheezing is a high-pitched whistling sound made while breathing. In this study, kids aged 6-24 months will be put into two groups. Group A will use a nebulizer, which turns medicine into a mist; Group B will use an MDI with a spacer, which helps kids breathe medicine easily. Each child will receive their treatment in 20-minute intervals until the end of the study. The study checks if hospital admission is needed and measures the child's lung function. Only kids without serious lung or heart conditions can join. The study wants to see if using an MDI with spacer is as effective as using a nebulizer. This is important because MDIs with spacers are easier to use at home and are more portable.

• Duration: Each session involves three treatments at 20-minute intervals.
• Eligibility: Kids aged 6-24 months visiting the emergency room with wheezing.
• Exclusion: Kids with serious lung, heart issues, or other specific conditions.
