Question

I'm really worried about my mom's cough. A few years back, especially during winter, she was using a nebulizer. Do you think it's okay to start using it for her again now?

-Yes, you can use a nebulizer for your mother's cough, especially if it helped her in the past. However, it's best to consult a doctor to ensure the correct medication and dosage are used, as her condition may have changed.
