The atomization effect is the best for these coughs.
Atomization has a remarkable effect on cough caused by asthma, laryngitis, acute laryngitis and other diseases. Especially in the acute attack period of asthma, inhalation of hormones and drugs for rapid bronchial relaxation can effectively relieve wheezing symptoms.
If the baby has cough variant asthma, asthmatic bronchitis, increased airway reactivity, etc., atomization is also recommended for treatment.
However, for cough caused by other diseases, atomization has no advantage in what. For example, cough caused by simple acute upper respiratory tract infection, even if the cough is severe, I am afraid it will not have a very good effect.
Before atomization, parents can do the preparatory work
Although there will be no discomfort such as pain when atomizing, some children will have fear of this [smoking machine], or they will not be able to stay motionless for 10-15 minutes or even longer and start crying.
- Before atomization, the atomization mask can be given to the child [to play] so that the child is familiar with the mask. Prepare toys, picture books, etc. to attract children’s attention; Place good cartoons in your mobile phone to help your children pass the time. If you really don’t cooperate, you can also wait for the baby to fall asleep.
Also note that do not apply oily cream before atomization, it is best to atomize half an hour after eating to avoid vomiting and choking cough caused by atomization stimulation. Wash your face and gargle after atomization to reduce local drug residues.
“Misunderstanding” of Atomization Therapy
-
Atomization is used to eliminate phlegm.
Atomized phlegm-resolving preparations are available, but they are not recommended for children. Oral phlegm-resolving can be selected for children’s treatment.
-
Inhalation of hormones by atomization will affect growth and development.
Inhaled hormones are often used during atomization. Many parents are easy to [turn pale at the smell of hormones], but this is not necessary.
The dosage of hormones inhaled by atomization is far less than that of systemic drugs such as oral administration or infusion. The absorption of local drugs is also very small, which will not affect body hormones, let alone growth and development.
