Whenever a severe attack occurs, Ms. Sun has to take her to a large hospital for nebulization treatment. The road is very inconvenient. Recently, she heard a colleague say that someone bought a self-purchased nebulizer from the Internet for treatment at home. Ms. Sun found it convenient and bought one online. Recently, Mengmeng has a cold again, and Ms. Sun bought medicines from pharmacies based on her previous experience. After preparation, she gave her children atomization treatment, but a few days later, Mengmeng’s condition was not only not good, but worse, and she suffocated when it was serious. She blushed. Ms. Sun was scared and hurried to take her child to Wuhan First Hospital for treatment.

A wide range of household atomizers sold online

Recently, a reporter from Chutian Metropolis Daily visited more than a dozen pharmacies such as Zhonglian University Pharmacy at Guanggu Software Park Road and Kangxiang University Pharmacy at Guanshan Avenue, and logged in to many home appliance companies such as Taobao and Jingdong.com and found that there were dozens of atomizers Species, types include: ultrasonic atomizer and air compression atomizer. Each type has both domestic and imported, and the price ranges from tens of yuan, hundreds of yuan to thousands of yuan.

Luo Guangwei, director of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of the First Hospital of Wuhan City, said that with an ultrasonic atomizer, the diameter of the atomized particles is 10 to 20 microns, and generally only reaches the upper airway and pharynx. Therefore, it can be used for cosmetics and facial masks, as well as for treating local throat inflammation and upper airway inflammation. The air-compressed atomizer, with a diameter of 2 to 5 microns, can reach the lower airway and is used to treat bronchial asthma, bronchitis, allergic cough, variant rhinitis, and pharyngitis. However, parents do not have to pursue fine particles, because if the atomized particles are less than 1 micron, they will be sucked in and exhaled, and the therapeutic effect will not be achieved.

He said that because most of the nebulizers are children, many children have upper respiratory tract infections combined with lower respiratory tract infections, so parents are advised to buy air-compressed atomizers. When purchasing a domestic atomizer for domestic use, it is necessary to look for the approval number of the Food and Drug Administration, and you can also check the authenticity on the Internet. In addition, citizens must carefully read the product manual when buying, see the product parameters, and select the appropriate model.

"Because patients with respiratory diseases have different incidences each time, the types, doses, times and treatment courses of drugs used will also be different. The doctor will adjust the medication at any time." Huang Zhongyan said that if the child's condition is in an acute attack period, it is not appropriate to treat it at home. , Be sure to go to the hospital to avoid delaying the disease or improper medication, hand shaking and even cardiovascular side effects.
