Nebulizers or Inhalers. Which one is better for my child?

Many parents face the question whether to choose nebulizer or inhaler treatment for children suffering from asthma. Many parents do not know that actually, there are no right or wrong answers. It doesn’t really matter if your child uses nebulizers or inhalers, as long as he is doing it properly.

Inhaler Benefits?

1. Ease of use. Inhalers are small, portable and hand-held. Inhalers will work anywhere and operation takes a few seconds. A nebulizer is more bulky, and the use requires children to stay put for 10 minutes while wearing a face mask.
2. Accurate dosage, especially while a nebulizer requires the parents to apply the liquid medication.

Why should my child use a Nebulizer?

1. Easier to use with infants and little children.
2. Inhalers require operation coordination while nebulizers require only breathing.
3. Nebulizers can better assist children with severe asthma cases, especially when the airway is blocked and the inhaler spray can not pass to the lungs.
4. Nebulizer can enable the mix of two or more asthma medicines when necessary.
5. These days, nebulizers can actually be fun for children. There are exciting new nebulizers available in cool designs like a fire truck or a panda bear that can help eliminate stress and anxiety and employ the child’s imagination during the treatment.

Don’t let your asthma interfere with your daily life

If you’re an active person with an asthma condition, you shouldn’t think twice before taking that long weekend or a day hike.

Many patients, who strongly prefer nebulizers over inhalers, sacrifice their family or recreational activities because of the trouble of carrying a nebulizer. Nebulizers work on electricity and have to be plugged into a power source. Now go find a plug out in the woods…

But here’s a great device that can help asthmatic that is on the go. It’s called the DeVilbiss Traveler, Portable Compressor Nebulizer and it is the perfect travel companion that makes it easier and more convenient than ever to "nebulize" when you're away from home.
The Traveler Nebulizer is the perfect system to improve your profitability. Not to mention the potential increase in medication revenues that will result from increased compliance with their nebulizer regiment.

This highly portable package makes The Traveler to be one of the smallest compressor nebulizers on the market. It weighs less than a pound and is smaller than a standard size postcard!

The Traveler Nebulizer comes with a convenient carrying case and even a car charger:

How to make Nebulizer Fun for Children

Nebulizers are very effective in kids’ asthma treatment. They turn medicines into a mist that goes straight into the airway. The problem is that Nebulizers aren’t much fun for kids. There’s a mask and a mouthpiece, and your child would pretty much prefer to go outside and play.

But Nebulizers can be fun for children. Nebulizers were once white, threatening hospital like machines, but these days there are over! Today, exciting new Nebulizers are available in cool designs that help eliminate stress and anxiety and employ the child’s imagination during the treatment.

Take a look at this New Fire Truck Nebulizer:

The New Fire & Rescue Compressor Nebulizer System, a durable metal piston driven system comes complete with patient administration set, respiratory mask and can be fun and amusing to use.

This next set is really amazing and innovative:

It's called the AIRIAL Pediatric Building Block Compressor Nebulizer System and it is the most popular and child friendly "Toy Nebulizer Machine." The System is specially designed to help eliminate your child’s anxiety and impatience during his/her breathing treatment while keeping him/her ‘busy’ with Lego style building blocks and comes in three styles:

• Postal Store Building Kit
• Heli Port Kit
• Pirate Island Kit

But even with those wonderful machines, it is recommended to turn this treatment into a special time with your child. Use your imagination and pretend that the mask is a pilot mask, astronaut mask, or firefighter mask when using the Fire Truck Nebulizer.
