About Nebulization

A nebuliser turns liquid medicine into a fine mist that a child breathes in through a mask. It delivers medicine straight to the airways — useful for wheezing, bronchiolitis and asthma attacks.

The doctor decides the medicine and how often it is needed after examining your child.

When to bring your child

  • Wheezing or a whistling sound when breathing
  • Fast breathing or chest pulling in with a cough
  • A known asthma or wheeze episode that is not settling at home

Common questions

Is nebulisation habit-forming?

No. Nebulisation is simply a way of delivering medicine. It does not create dependence.
