Do you know the dangers of aerosol treatment? Don\’t harm your child because of your ignorance!

What is nebulization treatment? The drug (solution or powder) is dispersed into tiny mist droplets or particles through an atomization device, suspended in the gas, passing through the baby\’s mouth and nasal cavity, and entering the respiratory tract and lungs with breathing. We call this treatment method for atomization. This treatment method can not only clean and humidify the airways, but also relieve spasms, reduce inflammation, eliminate phlegm, and even achieve the purpose of systemic treatment. However, many parents feel conflicted when they see atomization equipment. In addition, their babies are uncooperative and they are always worried about side effects. They think atomization is not as safe as medicine and injections. Exactly «««Are there any side effects of baby nebulization? Doudehui found a few pictures, let\’s compare them and we will know… Taking medicine: After taking the medicine orally, it will first be processed and absorbed by the digestive organs, and then the medicine will be transported to the lungs through the blood circulation, but for local treatment The effect is not big. Injection: After intravenous injection, the drug will reach the lungs through the blood circulation and has little effect on local treatment. Nebulization: When nebulizing, the medication can pass directly into the lungs through the trachea as you breathe. Moreover, aerosol inhalation treatment is a topical drug, which is more targeted and the amount of drug is also small. Therefore, through comparison, we can clearly see that compared with oral medication and infusion, atomization is safer, relatively free of side effects, and more effective. It has become an important auxiliary treatment in the treatment of respiratory diseases. measure. As for the doubts about why there is more phlegm after atomization, this is actually a sign that the baby\’s condition is improving. Because after the baby inhales the aerosol, the thick sputum will become thinner and irritate the respiratory tract due to the dilution effect of the drug. Only by coughing the sputum out can the inflammation be reduced. Especially for babies with pneumonia, when coughs occur frequently and sputum increases, it actually indicates that the baby\’s pneumonia has entered the absorption stage. Therefore, if you find that your baby coughs more frequently and produces more sputum on the second or third day after aerosol inhalation, this means that the aerosol treatment has taken effect, and it also indicates that the baby\’s condition is improving. Get better. So «««are there no contraindications for aerosol treatment? Of course not! Because it is difficult to feed the baby medicine and they don’t want to take the baby for infusion, some parents think that atomization is simple and trouble-free, so they actively ask the doctor to give the baby atomization treatment regardless of whether it is suitable or not, and even buy a nebulizer to atomize the baby at home. treat. Doudehui would like to emphasize that using atomization to treat respiratory diseases is not without taboos! Generally speaking, atomization is recommended for treatment of asthma, allergic cough, acute laryngitis, bronchiolitis, bronchopneumonia, infant wheezing, and some babies with pharyngeal suppuration and mucus blocking the respiratory tract. There is generally no need for atomization treatment for coughs caused by common colds, because not all medicines are suitable for atomization. If the instructions for use of the drug do not clearly indicate that it can be inhaled by aerosol, you cannot easily change the way you take the drug! In particular, antibiotics cannot be used for nebulized treatment (antibiotic nebulization is limited to certain patients with serious infections, such as ventilator-associated pneumonia). You can\’t even think about what medicine other babies should use and just think about it for yourself.Try it baby. How should parents take care of their babies when they are nebulized? Before atomization treatment: Do not apply oily cream. It is best to apply it 1-2 hours after the baby has eaten to avoid aerosol and other stimulation that may cause nausea or vomiting in the baby. During the atomization process: Parents must carry out standardized atomization treatment under the guidance of professional doctors, understand the drugs and dosages of atomized inhalation, and master the order of inhalation of drugs. Do not save trouble by giving them all at once. At the same time, parents should pay attention to observe the baby\’s status at all times. If adverse reactions such as dry mouth, nausea, chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitations, difficulty breathing, etc. occur, you must consult a doctor in time. After aerosol treatment: Parents should help the baby pat the back to expel phlegm, and feed the baby an appropriate amount of water to clean the mouth to avoid secondary infection in the mouth. Some babies cooperate with the treatment, and the smoke from the atomizer can quickly enter the respiratory tract, and the baby can obtain good therapeutic effects at that time. Some babies always cry or even resist. At this time, two parents need to cooperate. One is responsible for holding the baby, and the other is responsible for holding the atomized mask. Wherever the baby\’s head turns, the mask will turn, always facing the baby. Try not to stop the baby\’s mouth and nose midway, so as not to affect the treatment effect. For babies who are particularly uncooperative, you can choose to treat the baby while he is asleep.
