Can I give Flovent to my baby?

I have a 9 month old baby who seems to have bronchiolitis. Can I give Flovent to my baby with the orange air chamber or is it too small? (dad, me and his older sister are asthmatic)

Good morning, ma'am,
You should not give this product to your baby if it has not been specifically prescribed for your baby. A dose that is safe for you and your other child is not necessarily safe for another person or a baby. Also, giving your baby a medication that was not prescribed for him or her may delay proper management of the situation, not to mention the possible side effects of the medication.
If your child has even a little nasal congestion or discharge, the basic treatment remains nasal hygiene with a saline solution (Hydrasense, Sinus Rinse and others), which can be done as often as needed during the day, and at least 30 minutes before bedtime, followed by suctioning out the secretions with a baby fly.
If her symptoms persist for more than 7 days without improvement or get worse, you should consult a doctor.
I hope I've been helpful and I'm available if you have any other questions!
