Hi Julie,

Is your son under a respiratory consultant? Its usually them who prescribe nebulizers (although a few gps still do I understand) but they rarely prescribe them as the theory is that if you are poorly enough ti need a neb, you should be in hospital.

Its always worth an ask though!!!

Take care xxx
