Aerosol of physiological saline solution

Question
Hello,

Our son, aged 14 months, has never productive cough. He does 3 physio sessions per week during which he never spits anything.
Is it useful to try saline aerosol before the physio sessions to fluidize the suputum?

Thank you
Answer
Hello,
of course you can try it! There is no risk.
Maybe you can ask the pediatrician if he is old enough to take pulmozyme®. It's breaking the suptum DNA and it makes the suputum more fluide.
Have a good day.
