Crying-induced bronchospasm

Crying-induced bronchospasm (CIB), cough and/or wheeze greater than or equal to 5 minutes during or after crying behavior, is a common feature of childhood asthma. Nebulized metaproterenol and sodium cromoglycate may be effective in treating crying-induced bronchospasm refractory to oral bronchodilators [1].
