Hi Welcome to the ChatDoctorI understand your concerns. You child seems to be suffering from recurrent pulmonary wheeze. It occurs commonly due to hypersensitivity and hyper responsiveness of airways to certain allergens in the surroundings. You may try following measures to help him:1. Identify and avoid any allergens in the environment such as dust, smoke, cockroaches, etc. if possible.2. If he needs less than twice per week Dublin inhaler, then you can definitely consider it. Only thing is that you should use a spacer along with it and in case of any tachycardia or tremors, hold it.3. If the requirement is more than twice a week, then a step-up therapy to forecourt inhaler is advisable. You may talk to your pediatrician about it. Hopefully this will help you. In case of any further questions, you may contact me. Take care
