What is the use of nebulization for babies? How many times a day can babies be nebulized?

When the baby is sick, parents are always very worried and rush to send the baby to the hospital. At this time, the doctor will recommend the baby to do nebulization treatment, so what effect does nebulization have on the baby?

Because the function of nebulization is to reduce phlegm and expel sputum, nebulization therapy has fewer side effects than other treatment methods. If infants and young children are weak and take medicine frequently during their growth, it may have adverse effects on other organs of the body. However, nebulization therapy will target a single organ for drug treatment and use drugs in a targeted manner to help the patient recover as soon as possible.

Usually twice a day, nebulization can help expand the respiratory tract, improve the smoothness of breathing, and help dilute the phlegm in the throat, helping to cough or inhale it. But nebulization should not be too frequent, usually once or twice a day can achieve the effect, each time for ten to twenty minutes, and the interval between nebulization should be longer, so that it can work.

The nebulization method is relatively effective in treatment, and the main side effect is very small. Therefore, many parents will use the nebulization method to relieve their children's coughing symptoms. The nebulization time of children is generally controlled at about 10 to 15 minutes. It takes about 3 to 7 days of nebulization to relieve the coughing problem, but the specific time is also determined according to the condition of the disease.

Many parents are worried that nebulization therapy will have certain side effects. The adverse reactions of nebulization therapy are relatively small and generally do not affect children's growth and development and bone metabolism. However, some patients may have fungal infections in the mouth due to improper use of the instrument during nebulization therapy, causing patients to have varying degrees of oral ulcers and pain. Therefore, infants and young children should rinse their mouths in time after nebulization therapy. Some patients may experience varying degrees of headaches, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, etc. after nebulization therapy. These are generally symptoms caused by overdose, so medication should be taken as prescribed by the doctor to reduce the side effects of nebulization therapy.
