It depends what kind of cough your toddler is having. If your toddler seems to be breathless after each coughing episode, your toddler may need nebulizer to soothe and open up their airways. Nebulizer helps to open up their airways and expel mucus and phlegm that is stuck in their airways. Young kids do not know how to expel phlegm on their own thus it takes even longer time for them to recover. But if your toddler seem to be coughing for a period of time. Do bring them to see a doctor to get a proper diagnosis. Prolonged coughing could lead to bronchittis. Bronchitis is an inflammation or swelling of the bronchial tubes (bronchi), the air passages between the nose and the lungs. You may read more about bronchitis in the link below. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/8888.php
A nebulizer is typically used for managing asthma. It is a machine that is used to deliver medication to the lungs by converting liquid medication into mist (that can then be inhaled). If the cough is accompanied by wheezing or noisy breathing, it could be a case of asthma. It is best to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis. For dry cough arising from common cold or flu, usually a cool-mist humidifier would help.

It really depend on the pd you are seeing i ever seen 2 different pd one did give nebulizer but the other one did not give but still my boy recover and grow up well. Nebulizer is not really harmful but I will reduce to use on my son because I prefer him to recover without this. In fact he doesn't like the nebulizer. I hear from my colleague that their pd do give her nebulizer because Her son have bronchitis usually pd will give if they have serious bronchitis
