Your pediatrician should be able to do this, but can also be referred to pulmonology and/or an asthma/allergy practice.

My Brother had childhood asthma and doesn't have it now as an adult. OP, in case that is something you'd like to hear.

My three year old uses a spacer w a face mask very well. Way easier ime than a nebulizer bc it takes a fraction of the time

We used a nebulizer with a mask attachment and it was easy. He grew out of it around 7

A three year old can use a nebulizer or an inhaler with a spacer.

My 3yo has had something of a chronic on and off that's particulaly bad right now. I suspect asthma (I had it as a kid) and am getting him checked out at the doctor tomorrow. Wondering how they even go about treating asthma in a kid that young? Can you even get them to use an inhaler?
