Question

Parents of a four-month-old baby who has been diagnosed with congenital cartilage development disorder inquire whether nebulization treatment can be performed at home and what the frequency should be.

Answer

Doctors recommend that if the baby has coughing and difficulty expelling mucus, nebulization treatment can be given for 1-2 weeks, but it is not necessary to continue it indefinitely. Parents should pay attention to daily care for the baby, avoid cold exposure, and frequently give the baby back pats to help expel mucus.
