General Nebulizer Information
A nebulizer is a breathing machine used to treat lung conditions such as asthma and cystic fibrosis. They administer medication in the form of a mist that's inhaled into the lungs and are often used in situations in which using an inhaler is difficult or ineffective. Nebulizers are also used to limit the side effects of medications like steroids by delivering the medicine directly to the respiratory system.
Breathing Treatments & Kids
Because inhalers cannot be used by infants and are difficult for small children to use, nebulizers make treatment for asthma or other respiratory conditions easier and more effective for children. Nebulizers deliver medicine directly to the child's airways, assuring parents and caregivers that the child's needs are being met.
Asthma
Treatment for asthma and other respiratory conditions involves more than seeking medical advice and formulating a treatment plan–it also requires you to make lifestyle choices to improve your health. If you're ready to make changes to your living environment, there are many products that can help.
Respiratory Care
One of the greatest tools for combating nasal and sinus congestion is moisture. When you have allergies, a cough, cold, or another respiratory ailment, almost nothing feels better than the mist of a steam vaporizer. Vaporizers turn water into steam, then propel the warm steam into the air. The steam helps loosen any mucus in your sinuses, throat, or chest.
Caring for your Nebulizer
Owning a nebulizer means that you'll need to perform some basic cleaning and maintenance to keep it in working order. Compressor filters eventually become dirty and channels get clogged. The tubing, masks, and mouthpieces will also degrade over time. It's essential to clean your nebulizer, replace parts, and check for dysfunctional components to make the most of your nebulizer treatments.
