Winter, related to the other three seasons, winter can really be called "influenza disaster season", which is first of all because the low temperature environment will weaken the body's protective function and resistance to diseases, and the bacteria will move on standby, and then induce various diseases. The dry and cold climate is also not conducive to the loss of the virus, and the winter is extremely cold, whether it is adults or children, the amount of exercise is greatly reduced, and they also like to gather in the warm room, the air circulation is not smooth, and the virus is transmitted to provide a hotbed, and the sound of children coughing, coughing, coughing can be heard everywhere.
Atomization inhalation is a common treatment method for the treatment of cough, many children's parents handle discharge to reflect, the atomization of the atomizer bought at home before, why the smoke is so small, sometimes twenty minutes can not do a fog, the child is more disgusted, not like in the hospital to do fast, fog, children with high cooperation rate. So, for children with cough and phlegm, how should we choose the right nebulizer?
1, noise: the noise size of the atomizer is an important indicator of its quality, the noise is large, will affect the mood of the children who are already poor. Most of the noise of the compression atomizer sold on the market is about 80 decibels, while the noise of the compression nebulizer of good quality should be within 65 decibels. And the noise of the machine, the manufacturer will be marked.
2, vibration: accompanied by noise is vibration, in general, if the noise is large, its vibration must not be small.
3, heat: with the above noise, vibration with the problem, is the heat problem, noise, vibration of the machine, its heat must be more.
In fact, the above 3 items are all energy losses. Therefore, the nominal power of the compression atomizer is not as large as possible. Powery but noisy (vibrational, hot) machines waste most of their energy.
4, atomization particles: the size is directly related to the atomization effect, smaller (less than 2.5 μm) atomization particles, can reach the lower respiratory tract and alveoli, the general manufacturers provide specifications of the parameters inside the description of the atomization particle size, atomization particle labeling generally involves particle size, average particle size (MMAD), average median size (MMD) and so on.
5, portability: the smaller the better, as a home, the volume of the atomizer is also a factor that home users need to consider, and the smaller volume means that it is more convenient to carry.
Precautions when atomizing:
1. To do atomization at home, you must prepare a professional nebulizer, and remove oral foreign bodies and food residues before atomization.
2. When atomizing inhalation, it is best to choose a sitting position, which is conducive to drug deposition to the terminal bronchi, the baby can also be semi-recumbent, and doing fog at home is conducive to drug deposition to the terminal bronchi, and the baby can also be semi-recumbent.
3. After atomization, clean the face and rinse the mouth in time, the baby can feed a little warm boiled water to achieve the purpose of gargling, to prevent the accumulation of liquid residue in the pharynx.
4. When tapping, the five fingers are together, slightly bent to form a cup, from bottom to top, from outside to in, (the order of tapping is very important). Use the strength of your wrists to beat the chest and back rhythmically, vibrate the airways to assist in the discharge of sputum, pay attention to it before meals, or half an hour to an hour before bedtime.
In addition, parents must pay attention to taking their children to carry out appropriate physical exercises to enhance their own physique; eat more fresh fruits and vegetables; ventilate the room on time for half an hour every day, according to the room temperature, appropriate clothing for children.
