What is the purpose of a nebulizer in pediatric treatment?
A nebulizer is a device used to administer medication in the form of a mist that is inhaled into the lungs. In pediatrics, it is commonly used to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Pediatric nebulizers are often designed to be more appealing to children, sometimes resembling toys or animals to make the treatment process less intimidating.
