how long for albuterol to work?

morg was supposed to be on three days...but if she was still "wheezing" we were to keep her on it and she goes back to the dr tomorrow...

but wtf, she still sounds horrid.  shouldnt it have kicked her butt by now?

My  husband has only used it for asthma and it has always worked right away.

Albuteral is a fast-acting steriod, it should kick in and improve the wheezing right away.  Its not a one-time fix though, the weeze would come back.

I'm not sure about the medication, but I just wanted to say I hope she feels better soon.

Usually works right away.  If it doesn't work and she keeps on weezing you have to take her in.  They can give her a breathing treatment that will work (if you don't have a nebulizer at home).  This winter has been horrible on my son.  He has weezing everytime he get a cold. yuck!!
