[|AI|]  Thanks for asking your question at Chat Doctor. Your son is probably suffering from a condition called bronchiolitis which is caused by a virus and affects child Chat Doctor.  In most cases it is a self limiting disease but often requires nebulization. If he is wheezing, Dublin needs to be given. But if he is not, rather give him nebulization with 3% NaCl solution (hypertonic saline) and it should help. Do not give decor more than twice a day. I am unable to listen to the chest of the child and needed to evaluate whether there is likelihood of super added bacterial infection which needs to be treated with antibiotics. Some antiallergic like levocetirizine also might be required. He may also need to be assessed for chronic diseases like tuberculosis. Get in touch with your doctor who would be able to tell you more. The commonest side effect of Dublin is increased heart rate. About the side effects, they are there, but you need not worry. You need to get the disease treated first. Hope that helps. Feel free to revert with further queries if any.
