Question
Is it best for children to have a longer duration of nebulizer inhalation each time?
Answer
Generally speaking, children should have nebulizer inhalation sessions for about 7 days, but the specific duration should be determined based on the severity of the condition. It is recommended to use an ultrasonic nebulizer, as it produces a large and uniform amount of mist that can penetrate deep into the alveoli, allowing the medication to settle in the lower respiratory tract for better therapeutic effects. At the same time, attention should be paid to diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to reduce irritation to the respiratory tract. If discomfort or worsening symptoms are felt, medical attention should be sought promptly.
