Babies have poor health and are prone to colds and coughs. When you take your child to the hospital, some children do not cooperate with the infusion, so your doctor may recommend nebulization to treat respiratory illnesses.

Nebulization is an effective treatment for respiratory diseases, also known as "aerosol inhalation therapy". Through a nebulizer device, the medicine is nebulized into relatively small particles and sprayed in the form of aerosol, and then inhaled into the respiratory tract and lungs through nasal inhalation or oral breathing, thus achieving local therapeutic effects. It is usually divided into mask nebulizer and oral nebulizer.
Nebulizer therapy has many advantages over oral medications or infusions. Because nebulized therapy works directly on the lesion, the effect is faster, there are fewer adverse effects on the body, and the child is more cooperative, or at least more receptive than oral and infusion.
The difference between oral nebulizer and mask nebulizer
When using an oral nebulizer, the patient is required to actively bite down on the head of the nebulizer.
When using a mask nebulizer, it is sufficient to cover the face directly and inhale through the nose.
When using an oral nebulizer, the drug is inhaled directly into the lower respiratory tract through the mouth, so there is relatively little drug loss, which increases the lung deposition rate of the drug and reduces deposition in the nasal cavity and irritation to the face.
When using a mask nebulizer, the drug is inhaled through the nose or mouth, and most of the drug enters the lower respiratory tract through the nose with a shallow inhalation depth, and the drug is mainly absorbed in the nasal and oral mucosa.

Of course, whether oral nebulizer or mask nebulizer, have their own advantages, how to choose, according to the nebulizer treatment of different drug choices, or different treatment areas, to specific problems specific analysis!
But regardless of the use of oral nebulizer or mask nebulizer, after use should be promptly cleaned and rinsed, to reduce the residue of drugs in the nasal cavity, oral cavity, to prevent infection.
