The ideal time for tongue tie surgery, or frenotomy, in babies is generally recommended within the first few months, often during the first month of life. While some healthcare providers may prefer a "wait-and-see" approach, especially if the tongue tie is mild, early intervention can be beneficial for some babies, particularly if they are experiencing breastfeeding difficulties

I'm wondering if there could be an issue if we end up using Duolin and Budecort nebulization for more days than the doctor suggested. Also, when using the nebulizer, is it better to breathe through the nose or the mouth?

Taking Duolin and Budecort nebulization for more days than prescribed can lead to overuse, causing paradoxical bronchospasm, tremors, palpitations, and other systemic side effects; it's essential to adhere to the prescribed duration and consult your doctor if symptoms persist, and breathe in the nebulized medication through your mouth, with your lips sealed tightly around the mouthpiece.
