Nebulization is one of a very good modality that is used in children for management of cough or breathing issues.

There is a reservation that most parents have to use nebulizer for their children. However, for younger children especially less than 4 year olds, it is proven as a better modality than using cough syrups.

Medications get administered in a better way.

The dose of medicine delivered is very low when compared to any oral medicine, which helps is lesser toxicity.

There are lesser chances of any unwanted side effects of medications.

The best way to give nebulization in your child is while he or she is calm and playful or sleeping. Forcefully giving nebulization especially while child is crying leads to an ineffective delivery of medicine and ends up being a useless administration.

Please consult your pediatrician for any further query.
