Nebulizer

I once tried to use the nebulizer (with mask)when Zhanelle was about 10 months old. She put up such a fight that I gave up after two attempts. How do you administer it?

Hi Monica,

May be we can mail each other if you like?

My e-mail is humans@arc.agric.za

Hope to hear from you soon!

Feb09 Mamma - thanks.
But its all ok - it gets better with time and we celebrate his birthday!
My LG definately made up for all the heartache.
She brought/brings us such joy and happiness.
(As I am sure with every mom)
We should chat sometime about our LO's (seeing as though they are born in the same month and year)

Hi Monica,

My heart totally broke in to pieces when I saw your ticker! I'm so so sorry!

Yes, glad there is another Febr09 mom, I tend to feel alone!

Hey Feb09Mamma (nice to see another Feb 2009 mom)
Thanks - My LG chest is definately much better. I have been using the asthma meds that the doc gave us (Inhaler, nose spray and singulair) and also the humidifier every night in her room with eucalyptus drops.
We have a panel heater in her room at night so
her room does not get too humid. I think the dry air from the heater combined with the humidifier is just right.
She is much better now.
If she does get another chest infection I will go and get a nebulizer.
thanks for your reply.

Hi Monica,

My LG is on a inhaler and meds for allergy since 6 months, and it really help, but a nebulizer truly helps a lot! The docter told me to not make the room too humid, don't know why, but thats what he said!

Hope she is better soon!

Which is better, Nebulizer or Humidifier?
I have a Humidifier which I use every night in LG's room with the door closed and Eucalyptus drops. This helps to clear her chest up quite a bit.
We were at the doc 3 weeks ago (Bronchiolitus) and then again on Saturday (Bronchitus). So her chest has been really blocked up but I have just been using the humidifier.

The doc has also now prescribed 6 months worth of chronic asthma meds for my LG - all due to allergies.

Her chest is definately better, but do you think that I would need to get a Nebulizer too for maybe next time?

Just curious to know if they both kind of do the same thing or not?
