At What Age Can A Child Use An Inhaler Instead Of A Nebulizer For Asthma
CrazyChick asked:
My son will be six years old in November, and is in kindergarten. He has nebulizer treatments when his asthma is acting up (surrounding changes in weather, which are starting up for the autumn), and I was wondering at what age kids start using inhalers instead of nebulizers?
I'd much rather him have it in his backpack and be able to use it without cutting into the schoolday than to have him have to go to the nurse's office and do the nebulizer treatment.
There is an exception in my state regarding inhalers. They're the only medicine the kids can keep on them and use.
Also, I'm aware of the air chamber thing. I'm actually asking about JUST the inhaler.
