Purpose
-
A nasal nebulizer allows the user to breathe in medicine for faster results for breathing problems. This process works well for allergy sufferers, people with asthma, and people suffering from colds and sinus problems.
Process
-
A nebulizer takes liquid medicine and changes it to small particles that enter the nose and sinuses. These particles are small enough to penetrate the sinus passageways, allowing the infected sinus areas to be treated immediately with medicine. The person using the machine breathes the mist in through a mask. The treatment lasts for less than five minutes typically.
