How can a cold-induced asthma be treated for an infant?

Asthma symptoms are generally managed with an inhaled medicine that helps to open the airways that tighten up in an asthma attack. The most commonly used of these medications (bronchodilators) is albuterol, which is given either via a pump (with a tube and mask attached for babies and children) or a nebulizer machine. If symptoms are severe or frequent, other bronchodilators or sometimes steroids (usually inhaled) are given.
