Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How do nebulizers work?
A: Nebulizers work by turning liquid medication into a fine mist that can be inhaled directly into the lungs, allowing for quick and effective treatment.
Q: How to use compressor nebulizer machines?
A: Follow these steps:
1. Wash your hands before handling the nebulizer.
2. Fill the medication cup with the prescribed dose.
3. Connect the tubing to the compressor and the medication cup.
4. Attach the mouthpiece or mask and start the machine.
5. Inhale the mist slowly and deeply until the medication is fully used.
6. Clean and dry the nebulizer after each use.
Q: Can nebulizers be used for infants?

Q: Are portable nebulizers as effective as home compressor nebulizers?
A: Portable nebulizers are effective for on-the-go treatment but may not be as powerful as home compressor nebulizers. They are ideal for travel and emergencies.
