If a nebulizer is prescribed for a baby in the clinic, some parents will say that nebulizer treatment has a lot of side effects and sometimes nebulized hormones, which can be very harmful to the baby. So, is nebulizer treatment an abuse of antibiotics? Is nebulization really very harmful to babies? What is nebulizer treatment? Nebulized inhalation therapy is a common method of treating diseases of the whistle system, using the principle of gas jets, through a certain nebulizing device to disperse drugs into tiny droplets or particles suspended in the gas, deposited in the whistle tract and lungs through inhalation, to achieve the therapeutic effect of drugs, and oral drugs, intramuscular injection of drugs, intravenous infusion of drugs, is a way of drug delivery, but compared with other ways of drug delivery, the Nebulized inhalation therapy has the characteristics of small dose, faster onset of drug effect, less systemic side effects and easy to use. What diseases are treated by nebulization? Nebulizer inhalation therapy can treat bronchial asthma, cough variant asthma, post-infectious cough, wheezing in infants and children, Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, acute laryngitis bronchitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and many other childhood whistling disorders. What is the efficacy of nebulizer treatment? Nebulized inhaled glucocorticoids can effectively reduce airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness, control the symptoms of asthma, improve lung function, improve the quality of life of children with asthma, and reduce the morbidity and mortality rate of asthma, and the combined effect of bronchodilator drugs has a synergistic effect and plays a very important role in the treatment of the above diseases. What are the commonly used nebulized drugs? 1.Inhaled glucocorticoids, the strongest local anti-inflammatory drugs, budesonide and beclomethasone propionate can be used for nebulized inhalation in China. 2, bronchodilators, can expand the airways, bronchodilators include selective β2 agonists and cholinergic receptor antagonists, selective β2 agonists commonly used drugs of terbutaline and Ventolin, cholinergic receptor antagonists commonly used is ipratropium bromide. 3, expectorant drugs, can reduce the viscosity of sputum, so that sputum dilution easy to discharge, the representative drugs of Ambroxol hydrochloride and N-acetylcysteine, at present, there is no nebulized form of Ambroxol hydrochloride in China. 4.Antibacterial drugs, at present, there is no special antibacterial drugs for nebulization in China, and it is not recommended to use intravenous antibacterial drugs as nebulized antibacterial drugs. 5.Chinese patent medicines, there is no evidence related to nebulization, and there is no nebulization-related dosage form, so it is not recommended to use. Is nebulizer treatment safe? Many parents are concerned about the side effects of hormones. In fact, compared to the dosage of systemic glucocorticoids, the adverse effects of nebulized glucocorticoids are relatively small and safe, with no significant effects on growth and bone metabolism in children, and no elevated risk of systemic adverse effects (growth retardation, adrenal suppression, decreased bone density or fracture), which may occur in individual children with improper use Oral fungal infections can be relieved by rinsing the mouth after aspiration or by temporary discontinuation of the drug and topical antifungal medication. As far as bronchodilators are concerned, β2 agonists are selective agonists with few side effects, except for reactions such as skeletal muscle tremor, headache and rapid heartbeat due to drug overdose or improper application. Common adverse reactions of cholinergic receptor antagonists include headache, nausea, vomiting, and tachycardia. So the side effects of commonly used drugs for nebulization are relatively small, and are also relatively safe as long as they are used routinely in accordance with the dose. Does nebulizer treatment mean abusing antibiotics? The common drugs used in nebulization are glucocorticoids and bronchodilators, not antibiotics. In addition, there are no antibiotics for nebulization, so nebulization is not directly related to antibiotics, and it is not directly related to the abuse of antibiotics. Is nebulization more direct than infusion and more harmful to the baby? Nebulizer treatment is the direct action of drugs on the whistle tract, rather than through the blood circulation directly to the foci of the whistle tract, systemic adverse reactions are less, and the dose of medication is low, generally nebulizer medication inhalation is only a few dozen molecules of systemic medication, and nebulizer treatment is easier for children to cooperate, or painless and non-invasive. Infusion treatment is the drug through the intravenous infusion into the blood circulation and then act on the lesion, the dose of drugs will be larger, and is invasive, will also cause the baby pain and tension. Therefore, nebulization is the least harmful to the baby compared to infusion. How do parents think about nebulizer treatment? Nebulizer treatment is the most direct and effective treatment for children’s aspiration tract diseases, and the side effects are minimal, so if your baby is sick and your doctor recommends nebulizer treatment, then follow your doctor’s advice and choose nebulizer treatment. Is nebulizer treatment done in the hospital or at home? Of course, if parents are familiar with the nebulization process and the doctor thinks that the baby can be nebulized at home, then the medicine can be prescribed in the hospital and parents can learn how to dispense the medicine and operate the nebulizer, and then choose nebulized treatment, but be sure to ask the doctor about nebulization It needs to be done for a few days, how many times a day it needs to be done, and what conditions need to be brought to the baby for follow-up.
