My baby is having continuous cough and cold since a week. I visited a clinic. Doctor recommended to apply Duolin repulse on him once. Is it safe for babies below 6 months? Kindly advise. I have attached the doctor prescription

There are Adrenaline and Normal saline nebuliser for children below 6 months or 1 year. For Duolin nebuliser, child doesn't have the receptors for drug to show its action. So duolin will not act on child of 4 months and so not much of use.
