If your child's doctor has prescribed nebulized medicine, the two things that matter most at home are a mask that fits and a calm child. This guide is general information — follow your child's doctor's advice on the medicine and dose.
Which machine for a child?
| Need | Good option |
|---|---|
| Quiet for a nervous or sleepy child | 3-in-1 mesh nebulizer |
| Sturdy home machine with child mask | Rossmax NA100 |
| Branded portable | Medisign mesh |
| Spare child masks | Mask set |
Keeping your child calm
- Let them hold and touch the mask before you start.
- Sit them upright on your lap.
- Use a favourite cartoon or story.
- Hold the mask gently over nose and mouth.
- Praise them when it is done.
Get help fast if…
- Breathing is very fast or hard, or the ribs pull in.
- Lips look bluish.
- Your child is too breathless to feed, talk or cry.
- The medicine is not helping.
