How to Use a Nebulizer for a Baby
A nebulizer can help treat certain respiratory conditions in babies and infants. A nebulizer can help babies and infants take in medication while breathing normally. In this article, learn about how a nebulizer works, how to keep a baby calm while using one, and how to keep it clean.
How they work
A nebulizer is a medication delivery system for aerosolized inhaled medication. It warms up liquid medication to form a fine mist. The baby can then breathe the medicine into their lungs, making breathing easier. The nebulizer works by pumping pressurized air through the liquid. Once it has formed a fine mist, the baby breathes it in through a mouthpiece or face mask.
