Nebulisation is safe enough since it is more like topical treatment wherein medicine reaches the lungs directly rather than traveling through the liver and blood stream. It is usually started if the child isn't responding to  oral medication as expected.
Next Steps
Do not nebulise your child without doctor's consent, since different medicines are used  for different types of cough. Also the concentration may vary
