Q: i am confuse

I was under care of pulmonary specialist and

the whole time i was thought that a nebulizer delivers smaller molecules of medication , so when we use it it can reach to the smaller airways in the lungs..
but yesterday, i went to emergency at the hospital because the night before ive couldn't sleep because of many unresolving asthma attach. ive use nebulized combivent 4 times to keep me breathing. But then the doctor at the emergency told me i should use more inhalers than nebulizer cause inhaler has smaller molecules( what he said was totally contradict with my understanding)
Anyone knows better: which has smaller molecules?? nebulized or in inhaler form
