Are there any side effects of nebulization for children?

Children's colds have always been a problem that is difficult to completely eliminate, because children's resistance is very low and they are easily attacked by viruses. Therefore, once they catch a cold, it can easily cause great harm to the body. Severe colds can also affect children's lung function, causing pneumonia and so on. Therefore, actively treating colds and pneumonia is the most urgent. Modern treatment technology uses a lot of nebulization to treat colds and pneumonia in children. This technology is a relatively advanced treatment method that can solve the problem of children's rejection of drugs. However, does nebulization have side effects on children? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

Nebulizer therapy has relatively no side effects and is more suitable for children, but the use of nebulizer to treat respiratory diseases is not completely contraindicated. The time of nebulization inhalation depends on the volume of the medicine solution, about 10 to 15 minutes each time, and it can be done 2 to 3 times a day. Try not to eat half an hour before nebulization inhalation to avoid the mist irritating the airway and causing vomiting during nebulization inhalation.

During nebulizer inhalation therapy, 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. Do not let the atomized liquid enter your eyes, otherwise it will cause eye discomfort, and do not apply oily facial cream. After each inhalation, you can rinse your mouth with saline or warm water.

Secondly, parents don’t need to worry too much about nebulized hormone treatment. Nebulized hormones will not have any adverse effects on the baby's growth and development, but attention should be paid to the protection of local skin and mucous membranes after atomization. After hormone atomization, wash your face and rinse your mouth with clean water (for infants and young children, just drink one or two sips of water), so as to avoid the side effects of the drug.

There are no major contraindications to nebulization, unless the baby has an allergic reaction during the inhalation process: for example, severe coughing or difficulty breathing. In this case, pay attention to whether the inhaled medicine causes him to be allergic.
