Not all kids want to deal with a nebulizer for whatever breathing or health issues they may have. However, it doesn’t have to be tough for you to get your child to use a nebulizer for breathing therapy. You can make the treatment time more enjoyable when you follow these handy tips and tricks from The Breathing Shop. View our selection of affordable, quality breathing therapy equipment and more, including pediatric nebulizers, for home use.
Get the Right-Fitting Mask
Make sure whatever mask your child with their nebulizer uses fits them well. A nebulizer mask from a health supply store should fit comfortably, with the mask over the face and the port for the medication being easy for the mouth to reach. The design should allow for a snug fit without slipping off or feeling uncomfortable to your child.
Make Treatment Time Fun or Special
Allow for a bit of fun with the treatment process. Let your kids read their favorite book, watch their favorite show or movie, or play a game with them during treatment. You could also give the child receiving treatment a small reward for one’s hard work.
Let Your Child Decorate the Nebulizer Machine
Nebulizer machines for kids can be decorated as anyone would see fit. You can add stickers or fun drawings on the machine, for example. A child could also add a fun cover to make it look like an animal. You could also find some nebulizers with fun shapes and colors, like the ones that we supply at The Breathing Shop.
Wear a Mask With Them
You can also wear a mask with your child during the treatment process. Wearing a mask alongside your child shows that you care and that you want to be on this journey with your little one. It keeps your child from feeling alone and helps them see that the nebulizer mask isn’t something to be afraid of.
