Asthma – Who Gets It?
Archive for October, 2009
Asthma Nebulizer
This is a breathing machine. It changes asthma medication from liquid to a mist so that it can be inhaled easily. The asthma nebulizer therapy is especially effective in delivering medication to those who cannot be able to use normal asthma inhalers with spacers. These include infants, children and those with special needs.
Asthma nebulizer can be found in different medical stores, chemists and hospitals. The prices range but they are affordable. The machine comes with information on how to use it. This makes it very user friendly. The medication put in the asthma nebulizer is according to the doctor’s specifications. Be sure to use the correct dosage to avoid drug abuse. If you are not sure of how to measure the correct amount of medication, ask your doctor to guide you on this.
When using asthma nebulizer in infants, you should be very careful not to choke them. The nebulizer should be pressed softly at a go so that the medication does not come out in large quantities. It should also be kept very clean. This is by sterilizing and keeping it in a very clean and dry place away from any contamination. You would not want your infant or older children to catch other infections as a result of using it.
If you notice that the nebulizer is not working as it should, you should change it. This by purchasing another one from a genuine medical store. If the symptoms do not get any better, you should go back to your doctor for more diagnosis and medication.

So much so that I have stopped the nebulizer treatments all together – about which I am very pleased. The Zofran seems to be helping still and has backed off my ‘all-day-sickness’ to a constant nausea with very little throwing up. …
