Question
Will nebulization and suctioning harm a baby’s body?
Answer
Nebulization and suctioning are methods for treating upper respiratory infections in infants, generally considered safe. Nebulization therapy can help infants expel phlegm more easily, while suctioning is used to clear obstructions from the infant’s respiratory tract. However, these treatments should be performed under a doctor’s guidance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. If the infant has a severe upper respiratory infection, hospitalization may be required, along with the use of antibiotics and gastrointestinal depressants. Parents should ensure their child maintains a balanced diet and develops good hygiene habits to prevent respiratory system infections.
