[|AI|]  Ventolin (Albuterol) is a bronchodilator and your doctor has prescribed it because often in case of such cough, bronchospasm occurs. He has not prescribed the wrong medicine. But if you feel that she does not have wheezing, you may skip giving it and reserve if for times of respiratory distress, if it occurs. The side effect of Ventolin is increased heart rate but let me assure you that this is a very widely used medicine and well tolerated and so you need not worry about the side effects. Give your child steam inhalation twice or thrice a day and I think that she would get some relief. Also add some antiallergic syrup like Relent which will also help in diluting the cough. The cold has been caused by a viral infection and generally takes 5-7 days to recover. Please be patient till then.
