Question

My baby is a preterm child, and I have been worried about the baby’s condition from the beginning. Recently, the baby has developed a series of symptoms, and I am very concerned, afraid that the situation might worsen. What is the situation with pediatric nebulizer inhalation therapy, mainly referring to aerosol inhalation therapy? Aerosol refers to tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in the air. Therefore, nebulizer inhalation therapy uses a nebulizer device to disperse medication (in solution or powder form) into tiny droplets or particles, which then float in the air and enter the respiratory tract and lungs, aiming to clean the airways.

Answer

Pediatric nebulizer inhalation therapy is a medical method that uses a nebulizer device to convert medication (in solution or powder form) into tiny droplets or particles, which then float in the air and enter through the respiratory tract into the lungs. The main purpose of this method is to clean the respiratory tract and treat lung diseases. In pediatrics, nebulizer inhalation therapy is commonly used to treat conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and other respiratory infections. For preterm infants or those born with respiratory system diseases, nebulizer inhalation therapy may be an important means to help them breathe smoothly and recover health. Parents should follow the doctor’s instructions to ensure that their child receives appropriate treatment.
