What are the side effects of nebulization for children?

People often suffer from respiratory diseases, especially those with weak body resistance, such as very young children. They are more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases. Patients will have coughing symptoms and easily cough up phlegm. Severe cases may also experience bronchospasm, etc. If a child has this disease, you can choose nebulization treatment. So, are there any side effects of nebulization for children?

Does nebulization have any side effects on babies?

Nebulization refers to a method of administering medicine by using a nebulizer to blow the medicine liquid into fine droplets and spray it out in aerosol form, which is inhaled through the mouth or nose to achieve the purpose of treating the disease.

Nebulization has little side effects on babies. Nebulizer therapy has relatively fewer side effects and is suitable for children, but the use of nebulizer to treat respiratory diseases is not completely contraindicated.

Nebulizer inhalation therapy is a local drug administration with a short duration, and the nebulization itself has no side effects. However, doctors often add some antibiotics, anti-infective drugs and other drugs when treating diseases, and these drugs may have some side effects on children.

Experts suggest that when children are receiving nebulizer inhalation treatment, it is best for the baby to sit in a relaxed upright position and just breathe calmly without any special cooperation.

During nebulization inhalation, some situations should be stopped immediately. For example, if the child coughs frequently, inhalation should be suspended and restarted after breathing stabilizes.

The time of nebulization inhalation depends on the volume of the liquid medicine, about 10 to 15 minutes each time. It can be done 2 to 3 times a day.

Experts also emphasized that it is best not to eat half an hour before nebulization inhalation to avoid the aerosol irritating the airway and causing vomiting during nebulization inhalation. Also, do not let the atomized liquid enter your eyes, otherwise it will cause eye discomfort. Also, do not apply oily facial cream. After each inhalation, you can rinse your mouth with saline or warm water. After atomization, the atomizer tank should be cleaned in time. It can be washed with warm water and dried before use.

In short, experts remind that whether you are receiving nebulization treatment at home or going to the hospital for nebulization treatment, you must go to the hospital for examination, and the doctor must adjust the medication at any time according to the individual's condition. Therefore, children and their parents should still undergo nebulization treatment under the guidance of a professional physician, and must not seek temporary convenience and treat the disease without authorization.
