At WeCare Clinic, our patients are offered nebulizer treatments as a safe solution for people suffering from different respiratory illnesses such as asthma, COPD, or bronchitis. A nebulizer is a device which uses liquid medication to create a vapor that is to be inhaled in order to open the airways and help with breathing. This procedure is very useful for people who cannot use inhalers or have to get immediate relief from their symptoms such as wheezing, breathing difficulties, and chest tightness.

Respiratory problems, when neglected, may become chronic and affect the quality of your life. Nebulizer treatments provided at our clinic will help you receive fast relief and ensure better respiratory health. If you suffer from acute asthma attacks or have a chronic disease of the respiratory system, we are here to offer you professional treatment.

When is Nebulization Recommended?

Nebulization therapy is usually advised for people having problems in breathing due to various ailments that affect the air passages and lungs. This treatment provides rapid relief through the introduction of medication to the airways in the form of mist when compared to the oral administration of the drug.

Your doctor may advise nebulization therapy for:

• Asthma attacks/ increasing severity of asthma
• Bronchitis
• Wheezing or breathlessness
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Airway inflammation due to infections in the respiratory tract
• Ineffective use of an inhaler

Our doctors would check your symptoms before suggesting whether you require this therapy for your ailment.

What to Expect During Your Nebulization Session

• The doctor checks your symptoms to see if you need nebulization.
• Medicine Dispensing stage in which medicine is put inside the nebulizer machine.
• Session of nebulization in which you will breathe normally using the mask or mouthpiece for about 10-15 minutes.
• Review of Treatment in which you will be assessed by the doctor if there is an improvement in your breathing and further treatment or medicine.

Recovery and Aftercare

Nebulization is a non-invasive process that does not require much time for recovery. Patients usually feel an improvement in their breathing within a few moments of the process. For your quick recovery, we suggest:

• Take a lot of water after the process so as to keep your air passages moist.
• Take your medicines as directed by your doctor.
• Do not smoke and do not expose yourself to dust, haze, and other agents which irritate your respiratory tract.
• Have rest if you are suffering from some respiratory illness.
• If breathing problems continue, see your doctor.
