Is it good to use nebulizer for children's cough? What are the benefits of nebulizer for children's cough?

Children can receive nebulization treatment when they have a cough, because this treatment method allows the mist-like medicine to directly enter the respiratory system, which has a quick onset of action and good cough-relieving effect. It can also reduce the side effects of the medicine and save children from the pain of injections and medications. Children are more accepting of it.

Children have poor disease resistance, and when they get upper respiratory tract infections due to getting angry or catching a cold, they will have coughing symptoms. Many children are too young to cough up phlegm, so their throats always have a wheezing sound; plus it is difficult for them to take medicine, so many parents choose nebulization treatment. So, is nebulization good for children with coughs?

1. Is it good to use nebulizer for children's cough?

When children have a cough, they can be treated with atomization. This is because during atomization treatment, sputum can be diluted, which is conducive to the discharge of sputum. Moreover, the drug can be directly absorbed into the respiratory tract of children, and the effects of anti-inflammatory, cough relieving and expectoration will be better. Therefore, when children have a cough, atomization treatment can be used, especially when children have cough symptoms caused by diseases such as tracheitis and pneumonia. Atomization treatment is very helpful for the improvement of the condition.

2. Benefits of nebulization for children's cough

1. Fast onset of effect

During nebulization therapy, high-pressure oxygen flow is used to turn the liquid medicine into mist. The baby does not need to take the medicine, but can directly inhale the medicine into the respiratory tract and reach the lungs through breathing. Therefore, this treatment method is more effective than oral medication.

2. Effective cough relief

Because when nebulization treatment is used, the mist-like medicine will directly enter the child's respiratory system, which can moisten the respiratory tract and dilute the sputum very well, so it has a good effect of anti-inflammatory, expectorant, antispasmodic and antitussive.

3. Reduce drug side effects

During aerosol therapy, the drug can be directly absorbed into the respiratory tract without entering the blood circulation system, so the toxic side effects on the body will be much smaller. The dosage of aerosol therapy is much less than oral administration or injection, and even only 1/10 of other drug administration methods is needed. Because the dosage is small, the toxic side effects of the drug on the body will also be significantly reduced, which is very important for infants and young children.

4. Free from the pain of injections and medication

When sick, many children are particularly resistant to taking medicine and will cry when getting injections. When doing nebulizer treatment, the child only needs to wear a mask to breathe, which saves the child from the pain of injections and taking medicine, and the child's acceptance is relatively high.
