Nebulizer

It seems to me that as soon as i stopped breastfeeding (which was when Noah was 13 months), he started to have all kinds of problems including ear infections and colds. Most recently I had to take Noah to the doctor because he has been coughing for a while and also had a runny nose for quite sometime. We didn't know either his ears were bothering him again or he caught just another virus. Anyways, the doctor heard some wheezing sound in his chest that was probably caused by some viral infection. So what's the diagnosis? We don't know. The doctor said that is can be either a bronchitis, asthma or sinuses infection. Noah was prescribed two antibiotics and we were given a nebulizer to take home that would ease his coughing. I was very puzzled but the doctor said that there is nothing to worry about and most kids as they grow up won't need nebulizers anymore. Anyways, Noah can't stand the machine and he wants nothing do do with the cute fishy mask that comes with it. Every time i need to put the mask on Noah (which should be 4-6 hours) we need to either put on his favorite show (Fuzzy and blue and healthy too) or we can forget about nebulizer. Well, I'm taking Noah for a checkup tomorrow so hopefully we won't have to continue to struggle with a mask anymore :)
