Children's nebulization time

Coughing is a very common condition in children. Coughing can have many adverse effects on children, such as affecting their diet, affecting their sleep, and causing developmental problems if they can't sleep at night. When faced with children's cough, people will also take active measures to treat it. Nebulizing children is a common way to treat children's cough. So how long does it take for a child to be nebulized once?

How long does it take for the baby to be nebulized?

The baby only needs to do nebulization for 10-15 minutes each time, usually once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

When it comes to nebulization therapy, many parents think that the longer the nebulization time, the better. When they see liquid still on the nebulizer, they think the medicine is ineffective if it has not been sprayed completely.

In fact, the time of nebulization inhalation depends on the volume of the liquid medicine. For adults, 10 minutes of throat spraying is already very tiring. From the perspective of children, 10-15 minutes of nebulization is enough.

Suitable for atomization

Nebulization is suitable for treating children's respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, tracheitis, acute and chronic pharyngitis, laryngitis, tonsillitis, bronchial asthma, and children's long-term cough with sputum, sore throat and other diseases.

Because children are physiologically incomplete, have weak immunity, incomplete alveolar development, and poor tracheal mucociliary motility, they are prone to producing inflammatory secretions - sputum - after infection and inflammation. In addition, children cannot cough up sputum, so the sputum cannot be discharged and the condition worsens.

Therefore, we use different medicines according to the different conditions of children, such as Houttuynia cordata, Mucosolvan, Salbutamol, and Aquinoxaline. The application of traditional Chinese medicine to clear away heat, promote lung function, relieve cough and relieve sore throat, combined with nebulization treatment, can have a icing on the cake effect.

Is nebulization more effective when the baby is crying?

The nebulization effect is poor when the baby cries.

When a baby cries and refuses nebulizer treatment, some people will say that when the baby cries, his mouth opens and he breathes deeply, so he will inhale more medicine than when he is quiet.

However, according to a study conducted by the Department of Pediatrics of the Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College, quiet babies actually inhale more drugs!

When the baby cries, the exhalation increases and the inhalation decreases, the diaphragm rises, the breathing becomes shallow, and the ventilation cannot be fully carried out, which reduces the absorption and utilization of the drug.
