Entering the deep winter, smog, cold air, viral infections, etc. followed, the babies with weak resistance fell ill, the pediatrics were full, the coughing sounded continuously, and the topics of "cough" and "atomization" became the focus of parents' attention.
Many mothers ask: Does cough turn into pneumonia? Is the pneumonia atomized? Is atomization harmful...
Let's be clear first: cough cough, will not cough pneumonia!
Diseases in any part of the respiratory system can cause cough, such as colds, bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma, airway inhalation of foreign bodies, etc.
So cough is only a symptom of pneumonia, not the cause, it is precisely because the baby has pneumonia, the cough is not only Oh.
Next, let's talk in detail about the "atomization" problem that everyone discusses more.
1. Is atomization more harmful than infusion?
Some parents said: My child is pneumonia, I don't know whether it is good to hang water or atomization, I heard that atomization contains hormones, the harm is greater than infusion! Is this really the case?
Let's first understand the specific method of atomization:
The rapid flow of air in the nebulizer "beats" the drug into tiny droplets, allowing the child to inhale the drug into the corresponding part through breathing to achieve the purpose of treatment.
For respiratory diseases such as laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis and pneumonia caused by various causes, nebulization has a certain effect.
Because nebulized inhalation can act directly on the diseased respiratory tract and lungs, it has a faster and better effect than oral or intravenous infusion; the concentration of topical drugs is high, but the overall dosage is small, only a few tenths of the systemic drug, and there are few adverse reactions.
There is no need for parents to "talk about atomization and discoloration".
2. The longer the atomization time, the better?
No
In the case of the total volume of atomization liquid and gas flow, in fact, the atomization time is relatively fixed, about 10 to 15 minutes, and the residual volume of the spray atomizer is generally 0.5 to 2 mL, when the residual atomization liquid is smaller than the residual volume, the atomizer will not produce fog.
Moreover, with the evaporation of water, the temperature of the aerosol gradually decreases, which can easily cause bronchospasm, atomization liquid concentration, drug output reduction, particle increase, and the atomization effect will also become worse.
3. Can atomization be done at home?
For children and parents who do atomization for the first time, it should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, so it is recommended to treat it in a hospital.
For children and parents who are already familiar with the atomization process or need multiple courses of treatment, if possible, they can choose to atomize at home.
Atomizing at home can also reduce the risk of cross-infection in hospitals and the inconvenience of running to the hospital with children.
Of course, when buying a household nebulizer, you must choose one with brand protection.
4. What do I need to pay attention to in atomization?
In the atomization, if there are adverse reactions such as cough aggravation and hypoxia, the atomization should be stopped in time and the correct treatment should be given.
After atomization, timely pat the back to discharge sputum, clean up the tracheal secretions, avoid sputum obstruction of the airway, and wash your face and rinse your mouth in time.
Kangaroo Ma Ma has something to say:
Although aerosol treatment has many advantages, it cannot be abused! For "whether to atomize", you need to have a correct judgment, have doubts, and find a doctor to diagnose. Whether you need nebulization treatment, how much is the amount of medication each time, and which drug to use specifically, parents must follow the doctor's advice!
