You can give nebulization at home only if the child doesn't have symptoms of fast breathing or high grade Fever. If these conditions are fine then you can continue.
Next Steps
visit the hospital immediately if there are any of the above mentioned symptoms.

Yes, it's perfectly okay to nebuliser at home. You have to buy a nebuliser and appropriate medications. But for a 4 year old child, inhaler with spacer and face mask/ mouth piece is better than using nebuliser

Yes, it is ok to have a nebulisation in the home with proper medication. But it is preferable to use a MDI with spacer and mask so that you can know if there is any worsening.
Health Tips
In case of child having fast breathing, chest indrawing, difficulty to talk, visit the hospital immediately
