The Advantages Of Using Handheld Nebulizers

Everybody, even kids love the handheld nebulizers because they are super efficient, fast and create little or no noise. Nebulizers were earlier advised to children who had respiratory airway obstruction problems. They needed a medication that will help clear the mucous in the lungs and let them breathe normally. But the nebulizers of old were huge, scary and cumbersome. Children were absolutely scared of the machine itself and they were reluctant to use the medication even if it meant relief from breathing problems.

Doctors and parents consider the handheld nebulizer as the favored choice for delivering immediate relief for kids with asthma. They target the specified area of the affected lung and clear it. Mere inhalation through a metered dose inhaler is not enough when it comes to severe asthma. If you are traveling, handheld nebulizers could be carried in your handbag or briefcase, because if your kid is a confirmed asthmatic, he might need it at any point of time. Handheld nebulizer comes in two different types: the ultrasonic and the atomizer. They both use high frequency vibrations to convert the medicine into its mist form.
