Side Effects
coughing, but nothing out of the ordinary. Coughing may have been from Pneumonia. It seemed to do the trick slighty.

Additional Thoughts
It seemed to work, but I am unsure. He was in the red or low yellow zone on his peak flow meter, this medication allowed him to get to the high yellow zone. May have been the medication, or he was just getting better.
