Some babies have a mild cough, and taking some medication can improve it. Some babies have severe coughs, and if oral medication is not effective, they can only rely on intravenous infusion. Everyone knows that the harm of intravenous infusion is greater than that of oral medication. At present, there is also a method of treating cough by nebulization. Do babies with severe cough need nebulization?
Nebulization can moisten the respiratory tract, facilitate the discharge of phlegm, reduce tracheal congestion caused by coughing, and add drugs to the nebulized liquid to act on the inner wall of the trachea, promoting the dissipation of inflammation. Parents are advised to administer nebulization to children with severe coughing.
Nebulization is actually the method of taking medication through breathing. This way of taking medication can directly reach the affected area and also make the medication work better. The use of nebulization will be more cooperative for babies, so they don't have to stop taking medicine because they find it bitter. The adverse reactions of atomization are also relatively rare.
Nebulization therapy for cough has many benefits, but it also has its hazards. If the atomization is used incorrectly, it can bring harm to the baby. In addition, nebulization also requires a course of treatment, and as long as it is carried out according to the course of treatment, there is generally no dependence. Nebulization should not be performed at home and must be guided by a doctor. The commonly used drugs for nebulization include bronchodilators, glucocorticoids, and expectorants. The dosage of these drugs must be strictly controlled.
