Explanation:

1. Nebulizers are designed to convert liquid asthma medication into a fine, inhalable aerosol mist that reaches the lungs directly to relieve airway constriction.
2. Antacids are over-the-counter (OTC) products that neutralize stomach acid, making them the standard choice for relieving heartburn and acid indigestion. The other options treat unrelated conditions: cough syrup for coughs, antibiotic ointment for skin infections, and nasal spray for nasal congestion/allergies.
