1. Nebulizer Side Effects Hote Hi Kyun Hain? 2 Badi Wajah
Nebulizer ke side effects 2 wajah se aate hain:
- Medicine ke apne side effects: Jaise Salbutamol se dil tez chalna, Budesonide se muh me fungal.

Good News: 90% side effects mild hote hain. Dose theek karne ya technique sudharne se 30 min me theek ho jate hain.
