Even young children are not spared from respiratory disorders. Whether due to hereditary reasons or lifestyle, asthma has become a common occurrence among the younger generation. One type of asthma drug that is used by almost all people with the condition is a bronchodilator. Bronchodilators open up the bronchial tubes so that more air can move through. It also helps clear mucus from the lungs. As the airways open, the mucus moves more freely and can be coughed out more easily.
A bronchodilator nebulizer is used to treat young children, mainly children who are two years and under. The portable nebulizer machine treats children who suffer from respiratory airway obstructions. Though metered dose inhalers are supposed to be quicker and more cost effective unfortunately younger patients including children and infants do not seem to benefit fully from this treatment. One reason for this could be that the children will not be able to co-ordinate the full inhalation of metered dose inhalers.
The bronchodilator asthma nebulizer solves this problem by helping young patients to breathe normally. They can inhale the medicine without having to exert themselves unduly. Either a mouthpiece or facemask is used to deliver the medicine. Children need to inhale only five or six times before they begin to feel the effects and relief soon after. However, overuse of short-acting bronchodilator is a sign of persistent uncontrolled asthma that needs treatment, which is more aggressive. It is better to consult a doctor about improving asthma controller therapy.
