NEBULIZER
The device delivers the same types of medication as metered-dose inhalers (MDIs), which are the familiar pocket-sized inhalers.
Nebulizers may be easier to use than MDIs, especially for children who aren’t old enough to properly use inhalers, or adults with severe asthma.
A nebulizer turns liquid medicine into a mist to help treat your asthma. They come in electric or battery-run versions.
They come in both a portable size you can carry with you and a larger size that’s meant to sit on a table and plug into a wall.
Both are made up of a base that holds an air compressor, a small container for liquid medicine, and a tube that connects the air
compressor to the medicine container. Above the medicine container is a mouthpiece or mask you use to inhale the mist.
