If the cough is too strong after an infection, the doctor may prescribe a nebulizer for your child to relieve the symptoms with medicine.

Because nebulized inhalation can be used for cough variant asthma, upper airway cough syndrome, post-infection cough and other chronic cough diseases in children, it does the following.
relieving bronchospasm and relieving symptoms such as coughing, coughing and wheezing; expectorant.
moistening of airways; anti-inflammatory, etc.

1.Nebulized drug delivery, relatively safe and effective
Drug particles reach the lungs directly: aerosol particles can reach the bronchi and alveoli very directly, without going through the intestines and blood circulation first.
Good efficacy: Inhaled drugs can act directly on the airway mucosa, with strong local effects.
The higher the local drug concentration, the better the efficacy. ● Generally, the amount of nebulized inhalation therapy is one tenth of the amount of systemic drugs, which can avoid or reduce the potential adverse reactions that may arise from systemic drug administration.

2.The nebulized drug delivery method is also more convenient
Some children are a little anxious and resistant to taking medication, but are relatively quiet when nebulized (hospitals always watch cartoons while nebulizing).

The selection of home nebulizer is actually not that complicated, pay attention to these 3 points.

1, choose the type
Spray nebulizer: The most commonly used nebulizer, driven by compression pump or oxygen, with shorter nebulization time.

Screen nebulizer: The nebulizer is portable by vibration and other means to make the medicine through the mesh.

2.Select parameters
Need to produce smaller particles of droplets, atomization is more adequate, mainly look at 3 parameters.
particles with a diameter of 5 μm or less up to 60% or more.
Fog particle diameter of 1.0~5.0 μm is more suitable.
The residual amount of medicine is less than 1 ml.
Nebulized medication is delivered as an aerosol and enters the body with the respiratory airflow. The aerosol contact surface is large, so it is conducive to the contact between the drug and the mucosal epithelial cells on the airway surface and the drug effect.

3.Smaller noise and more points
Nebulizer inhalation is usually done for small babies, and low decibel noise will not cause irritability, and children are not easily woken up when they fall asleep to do nebulization.
Usually jet nebulizer requires noise less than 65 decibels.
