Nebulisation is a method of delivering certain liquid medicines directly to the airways in the form of a fine mist that can be inhaled through a nebulizer. It may be recommended by a doctor for children with specific breathing or airway-related conditions. Dr. Himanshu Agarwal, Senior Pediatrician, provides nebulisation services in Gurugram when clinically appropriate, along with evaluation and treatment of the underlying respiratory concern.
A nebulizer converts liquid medication into a fine mist that the child breathes through a mask or mouthpiece. This allows the prescribed medicine to reach the airways. The type of medicine, dosage, duration, and frequency depend on the child's age, symptoms, diagnosis, and medical requirements.
Some children may find nebulisation unfamiliar or uncomfortable, particularly younger children. A child-friendly approach can help them remain calm during the procedure. Parents should use nebulisation only with medicines prescribed or recommended by the pediatrician and should follow the instructions provided regarding dosage and frequency.
