Nebulizers and inhalers are both very effective breathing treatments, but they’re often used incorrectly. This makes them less effective at treating respiratory issues. Work with your doctor to find a breathing treatment that fits best with your both your medical needs and lifestyle.
Is a nebulizer good for your lungs?
A nebulizer treatment may help reduce inflammation in the lungs and/or open airways, especially in the case of respiratory illnesses like asthma. People with other respiratory diseases like COPD who have lung-related complications from a cold or flu may also benefit.
How does a nebuliser work?
A nebuliser is a machine used to change liquid medication into a vapour that you can inhale. It works by pumping pressurised air through the liquid to form a fine mist, which can then be breathed in through a mask or mouthpiece.
