If your baby is feeding well, showing no signs of distress , active , then there must be nothing to worry about.
If chest is clear, it is likely that sounds are coming from upper airway, due to some secretions there. Giving nebulisation sometimes help clear these secretions, which may the reason why your paediatrician recommended that.
Next Steps
Watch for any distress in your child.feeding difficulty/cough/fever/poor activity
Health Tips
See if breathing is faster than usual, or baby is taking more effort to breath.
