Steam
The simplest of all inhalers. The drug in it evaporates, and its fumes are inhaled by the sick infant. But it has its drawbacks:
- in the resulting pairs, the concentration of the drug is less than the required dose;
- some useful substances under the influence of temperature during vaporization are destroyed;
- it is sometimes difficult for children to use such an inhaler. They are afraid to breathe hot steam.
Therefore, recently, more and more on sale are inhalers, which are called nebulizers. These include ultrasonic, electron - mesh and compressor types of inhalers. They differ among themselves in the dimensions of the particles that form. This parameter influences the depth of the effect of the drug, on it depends on which organ the microparticles settle. Which is better: an inhaler or a nebulizer? Naturally, the latter has a number of advantages. It is more effective, the drugs from it can penetrate deeper into the respiratory tract. Such drugs are safe and convenient to use. Children even look more like a nebulizer.
Ultrasonic
Such models are compact and at the same time they conduct the necessary therapy. They have only one drawback - part of the drug is destroyed by ultrasound and does not reach the target. Such devices are capable of spraying drugs in the form of an aerosol. And when inhaled they penetrate into hard-to-reach places of the ENT - organs. Ultrasonic devices have good power. In a quarter of an hour they are able to produce 15 to 30 ml of aerosol. They can be filled with herbal tinctures and alkaline solutions. This device is convenient to take with you on the road. And due to the fact that it is equipped with additional nozzles, it is used even when the child is lying or asleep.
Compressor
They are similar in principle to working with ultrasonic, but in contrast to them more dimensional, they have a large mass and strong noise during operation. Their principle of operation is based on the creation of a strong airflow by the compressor, which is enriched with medicinal particles during the passage of the nebulizer chamber. As a result, an aerosol cloud emerges from the device, capable of penetrating into the deep parts of the respiratory system. The main advantage of this type of instrument is the ability to spray all solutions for inhalation without exception.
It is noteworthy that this species has several children's models, made in the form of toys. The most striking representative of them is the nebulizer. It is specifically designed for children suffering from allergic reactions and asthma. The device is made of high-strength materials, therefore it is reliable in application and can work without interruption for about half an hour. It has a considerable capacity for medicines and small holes for its dispersion. His toy form attracts the kids like a magnet, and they happily treat him. It comes complete with two masks. One is for adults and the other for children, so this device is convenient for the whole family.
Electronically mesh
They are becoming increasingly popular. These include a membrane nebulizer. It works noiselessly( noiseless).The main working element is a vibrating membrane, on which there are many microscopic holes. When the medicine passes through it, an aerosol is formed at the exit. Its particles are able to settle sufficiently deep in comparison with other types of inhalers. Thanks to this principle of work, the useful substances of the solution do not collapse and the effect from them is much greater than from the use of other devices. The only negative is the high price.
How to use
Here are the step-by-step actions of using it:
- Before using the inhaler, you should wash your hands with soap and detergent. Pick up a nebulizer. Then explain his work to the child, if inhalations will be carried out for the first time.
- Pour the prepared solution, which was prescribed by the pediatrician.
- Practice the child's breathing deeply, showing how to properly inflate the chest. If he needs to treat a cold, then he should breathe in through his nose and exhale through his mouth. And if a cough, then vice versa.
- A kid should not be distracted, so it is necessary to think in advance what to do( watching TV, reading a book);
- Before exhaling, the baby should try to hold his breath for two seconds. If during the procedure he complains of dizziness or the parents will see that he is uncomfortable, then the procedure must be interrupted for at least a minute.
- After inhalation, the nebulizer must be disassembled and rinsed in running water. Then drain it with napkins or a hairdryer. It is necessary at least once in five days to sterilize the parts of the inhaler and boil them.

Opinion of Komarovsky
No one canceled steam inhalation over a saucepan, but they are not as effective as modern appliances. They, as a rule, are used for serious diseases of the respiratory system, so complex drugs are injected. And they certainly are not chosen by their parents. Their benefits are obvious: accumulated mucus, getting in contact with moist and warm air becomes more fluid and easily clearses. But, if the child does not have dried phlegm, then there is no need for steam inhalations. It is better for children to prescribe aerosol inhalers, they help deliver drugs to the lungs in the treatment of diseases such as asthma or an allergic cough. And pour in them saline or mineral water, it's like car to fill with hay or oats. One inhaler can cure several diseases by setting a different particle dispersion on the nebulizer.
