my grandson has a heart murmur and takes albuterol when needed. Today he when to the doctor for a cold in his eye and for his coughing. The doctor said the murmur was very pronounced both sitting and lying down. With any type of murmer, should a 4 year old be taking albuterol? He is scheduled to see a cartiologist Wednesday.

Consult a cardiologist and he will direct you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you all the best.
