Emergency help to breathe

[olbat]

My husband has become ill with infections. He can barely use an inhaler sometimes. He has a nebulizer and meds to use every 6 hours. What can I do when he can't get his breath and has several hours till his next nebulizer treatment. Is there something else I can put in his nebulizer to calm him and help him breathe easier. It scares us both when he can't use the Albuterol inhaler, and can't breathe. Especially when he gets a coughing fit. The breaths are short not enough oxygen getting in, sweats from the exertion and panicking because of it.Water? Special medication kept on hand for this? Liquid Vicks menthol or something else to put in the nebulizer till the next day when you can call or see a doctor? Thanks for you help.

It is understandable that you are both scared when your husband can

Until you can speak with a LUNG LINE nurse, tomorrow, I recommend that you call (911, 0, etc.) for an ambulance, or, take your husband to a good ER (Emergency Room), for any breathing problems! Ask the ER people which you should do (have an ambulance come to you, or, go to the ER).

During the day, Mon-Fri, you can call a LUNG LINE nurse, at 1-800-222-LUNG(5864). Call between 8 am & 4:30 pm, Colorado time.

Don't take a chance. Get emergency medical care IMMEDIATELY, when your husband can't breathe well!

Good luck to you.

Sincerely, Concerned lady
