Nebulizer for children

Nebulizers are all the same whether it is used by children or adults, what differentiates them is the method of drug inhalation. Depending on the age of the patient, one should use mouthpiece or face mask to inhale the medicine. Aerosolized medicines help to open the airway thereby enabling trouble free breathing. This also stops cough, wheezing and chest tightness. Children always make fuss about using a nebulizer, for those fun masks can be used. Masks come in bright colors decorated with animal or clown faces. This can help to divert the attention of the child and make the treatment process simple. Asking the child to feel the mask and the mouthpiece while not in use can help them get the fear out of their mind. When the mask is held tightly the treatment is faster and more effective when compared to the mask hanging around loosely. Playing music or reading stories to them also can help them wade away the anxiety of using a nebulizer. Visit Ojmedical to buy a nebulizer for children.
