Should babies use their mouths or noses to inhale nebulization? The correct way to nebulize babies

Nebulizer therapy is the most popular treatment method among parents. It is different from infusion and medication and has no side effects on the baby's body. When the baby is sick and needs nebulizer, how much do parents know about it?

It is better to suck with your mouth.

Generally, atomization is used to administer drugs in the lower airway, which means that if you inhale through your nose, the drug will pass through the inner wall of the nasal cavity. This means that many drug particles with larger diameters will remain on the inner wall of the nasal cavity, causing drug waste. Therefore, from the perspective of drug utilization, it is more appropriate to inhale through the mouth. Another reason is that the nasal cavity has a relatively small opening, and drug particles can easily settle halfway, which will increase drug waste. The amount of drug reaching the alveoli and small airways will decrease, and the effect of treatment will be greatly reduced. It seems that whether from the perspective of drug waste or treatment effect, it is better to inhale through the mouth during atomization.

1. Choose a time when the child is quiet and not crying to inhale.

2. Do not apply oily cream before nebulization inhalation. Connect the newly opened nebulizer mask first, turn on the switch and blow for 1-2 minutes before adding medicine.

3. During nebulization inhalation, keep the nebulizer jet cup upright and the child's upper body upright to increase the chance of gravity deposition of the inhaled drug, improve the treatment effect, and prevent the drug from splashing into the eyes.

4. During the nebulization inhalation process, pay attention to the child's complexion and breathing. If the lips turn purple or the breathing speeds up or slows down, stop immediately. Do not force nebulization treatment.

5. After nebulization, prepare a towel for your child to wash his face, and let your child rinse his mouth with warm water to remove any residual medicine in the mouth.

6. After nebulization inhalation, use the palm of your empty hand to tap the child's back from bottom to top and from outside to inside to promote the discharge of phlegm.

When a child has a cough and difficulty breathing, nebulization can be used as a treatment method. If the child feels unwell, he or she should go to the hospital for examination in time. The doctor will recommend appropriate treatment methods to the patient based on the actual physical condition. During treatment, the patient should cooperate with the doctor and follow the doctor's advice. Only by choosing an appropriate treatment method can the disease be cured as soon as possible.

Many hospitals now offer nebulization therapy. When you feel unwell, do not delay. It is best to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible so that your body can recover to health as soon as possible. Knowing the impact of the disease on the body early is relatively large. Curing the disease in time can avoid the harm it causes to the body.

When babies cry and refuse nebulization treatment, some nurses will say that when babies cry, their mouths open and they breathe deeply, so they will inhale more drugs than when they are quiet. In fact, quiet babies inhale more drugs. Because when babies cry, their exhalation increases and their inhalation decreases, the diaphragm rises, and their breathing is shallow, so they cannot fully ventilate and breathe, which reduces the absorption and utilization of drugs. Therefore, during treatment, it is more conducive to the absorption of drugs and to obtain ideal treatment effects by making the baby happy and calm.
