Baby nebulizer
A child may suffer from respiratory diseases several times a year. Inhalation is beneficial in combating bronchitis, laryngitis, pharyngitis and rhinitis. Inhalation is a procedure consisting in inhaling aerosols, herbal infusions or drug solutions by a sick person. An example of a home inhalation treatment is inhaling with a blanket of medicine dissolved in a bowl of hot water covered. This home treatment can bring excellent results in the fight against the disease, but it is difficult to carry out with a few months old baby. In order to meet the parents' needs, devices facilitating inhalation - inhalers and nebulizers - were created.Nebulizer vs inhaler
Nebulizers and inhalers are devices used to inhale drugs. Both devices differ from each other in terms of construction and quality of operation. The inhaler allows direct administration of the drug to the respiratory tract and is an independent device. The nebulizer is an extended version of the inhaler - these devices have been enriched with a special mask, which allows for better introduction of drug particles into the child's body.How does a nebulizer work?
The nebulizer breaks down drug particles better - the aerosol, i.e. the mist blown out by the nebulizer, goes directly to the respiratory tract thanks to the mask. The whole process of administering the drug is usually positively perceived by the toddler - he often prefers nebulization to taking the drug in a different form. However, if your child is reluctant to nebulization, consider purchasing a teddy bear nebuliser or other toy - such as the Hoffen Compressor Nebulizer.Which nebulizer for a child is best to choose?
Different types of nebulizers differ from each other in terms of the method of breaking down drug molecules - we distinguish, among others, a mesh nebulizer, a compressor (pneumatic) nebulizer and an ultrasonic nebulizer. This is not cheap electronic equipment - a branded nebulizer for children, the price can scare many parents. So, if you are planning to buy a baby nebulizer, the online ranking may be the place to find the best deals. Regardless of which type of nebulizer you choose, also take into account whether the product has a positive opinion of the Institute of Mother and Child.How do I know if the medicine is nebulisable?
How can I check if my medicine is nebulizable? You should only choose drugs that contain information on the packaging that they are suitable for nebulization or inhalation. The use of drugs unsuitable for their administration by this route is dangerous for the child. You should also avoid inhaling essential oils through a nebulizer.
