The weather is cold really fast, the lowest temperature all of a sudden to 1 degree. Also really convinced that the weather in Beijing: otherwise haze, otherwise the wind blowing haze dispersal temperature freezing point, life is really tough. The children are even more pitiful, this broken weather a toss, immediately fell sick, coughing, wheezing children especially. Due to the need for disease, nebulization of children is also more and more, many families have their own configuration of the nebulizer, I jokingly and a mother said: now the nebulizer is not a standard in every family ah? Mom laughed and answered: almost, many of my friends have it at home. What is the role of nebulization? Nebulization inhalation therapy is to use a nebulizer to disperse drugs into tiny droplets or particles, particles are inhaled by the body into the respiratory tract to achieve therapeutic effects. Nebulized drugs are mainly divided into two categories: a class of bronchodilators, a class of hormone drugs. 1, bronchodilator children coughing and wheezing attack, the bronchial tubes are spasmodic. Bronchodilators relieve bronchial spasm by relieving the symptoms of cough and asthma. Generally fast-acting, effective. 2, hormonal drugs Hormonal drugs can reduce the sensitivity of the airways to external stimuli, thereby reducing asthma attacks, asthma control from the root, reduce the recurrence of asthma due to irreversible damage to lung function and the impact on cardiac function. These medications should not only be used during asthma attacks, but also continue to be used during non-exacerbation periods. Many parents are concerned about the use of hormonal medications. It is true that hormonal medications used to be given orally, intramuscularly, and by infusion – in other words, systemically. In other words, they were administered systemically. These modes of administration used a large amount of medication and had many systemic side effects. With advances in medicine, nebulization is becoming the most common and effective way of administering medications. Nebulized inhalation medication is localized, the medication is inhaled directly into the trachea and bronchial tubes and takes effect locally. The amount of medication used is small, but it produces direct effect, and the amount of medication dispersed throughout the body is very small, thus producing very few systemic side effects. Which children need nebulization? Children with cough, asthma, and allergic cough (allergic asthma) need to be treated with nebulization. Nebulization is also used for some severe respiratory infections with prolonged coughs, and for laryngitis. These are the more common clinical use of nebulization treatment of disease. Many parents are worried about the nebulizer is not after the dependence, the fact is: not because of the nebulizer next cough and asthma will have to do the nebulizer, but because the child is such a body, prone to cough and asthma, therefore the need for nebulizer. Even if they carry on without it now, they will only use it more frequently or for longer periods of time in the future. Nowadays, asthma-related medications are very mature, clinical control is more satisfactory, and as long as you follow your doctor’s instructions, the vast majority of children with asthma and allergic cough will be able to achieve a relatively satisfactory outcome. The basis for a good long-term prognosis is early diagnosis and treatment. It is the consensus of the medical community at home and abroad that children with asthma should be treated with nebulized inhalation medication. Therefore, if your child has asthma or an allergic cough, it is best to follow your doctor’s instructions and give your child regular, long-term medication. Don’t take it upon yourself not to use the medication or stop it early, which will delay your child’s treatment and prognosis. Which children do not need nebulization? Some children are a child with cough and asthma, nebulization is particularly effective, nebulization inhalation after coughing quickly relieved, so the child’s parents recommended this method to their friends, but also lent their own nebulizer pump to friends. Parents really divided into two poles, there are all aspects of the disease to explore the bottom of the question why, there are also such: others use what medicine I also use what medicine. Do you mix medicines? Although the use of nebulized medicine is very safe, but after all, it is medicine, if there is no indication of the use of medicine is not randomly given to the child. You should not try the same medication on your own child as you would on another child. Because the same cough, the cause of the disease can be very different: there are colds, allergic cough, asthma. Most coughs from the common cold do not require nebulization, and the purpose of nebulization is not to suppress the cough. The common cold lasts 5-6 days, during which time some children cough more, but this is generally not a case that requires nebulization. In short, the treatment of nebulizer, we do not refuse because of the “hormone”, and do not look at other people’s good results on the use of random. Specifically how to treat, or listen to the doctor’s advice and diagnosis! How to choose a nebulizer pump? Some children have frequent coughing and wheezing, and their parents want to buy their own nebulizer to make it easier to use. Then how to choose a nebulizer? It is recommended to purchase a compression nebulizer. Compressor nebulizer can vaporize the medicine into medicine mist particles, which are fine and easy to breathe through the deep into the bronchial tubes or fine bronchial tubes. The diameter of nebulized particles that can enter the lower respiratory tract should be between 2 and 6 μm. When purchasing a nebulizer, you should pay attention to the diameter of the nebulized particles in the product parameters. Previously used ultrasonic nebulizers are ineffective for the lower respiratory tract because the particles are too large and can only be deposited in the oropharynx but cannot reach the lower respiratory tract. It can be used to treat laryngitis, but is not suitable for cough and asthma nebulization.
