Inhalation with Berodual and saline solution for children

Sometimes chronic diseases of the respiratory tract are manifested by a painful cough of an obstructive type and even suffocation. According to modern pulmonologists and pediatricians, the best bronchodilator for children are inhalations with such drugs as Berodual and saline.

How correctly to make inhalation?

Berodual is an indispensable remedy for obstructive diseases affecting the lungs and bronchi accompanied by bronchospasm, emphysema and bronchial asthma. But it is important to know how to use it correctly. Therefore, consider in what proportions, depending on the age of the baby, are inhaled with Berodual and saline solution:

1. If the baby is not yet 6 years old, or weighs less than 22 kg, 2 drops of Berodual are taken for 2 kg of the small patient's weight, and the required amount is diluted in 2 ml of saline. Treatment must begin with the lowest possible dose of the drug, which is 0.5 ml or 10 drops. Usually inhalations using Berodual and saline are done twice a day, but in case of a complicated course of the disease it is possible to increase their number up to 4 times.
2. For children over 6 and under 12 years of age, the dosage for inhalation depends on the symptoms of the disease. With moderate spasm, 0.5 ml (10 drops) of Berodual are taken; in a case of acute attacks of bronchial asthma of mild and moderate severity, a small patient will need 0.5-1 ml (10-20 drops) of the solution, and in severe and especially severe cases of dyspnea, the dose is increased up to 2-3 ml (40-60 drops). At the majority of parents there is a natural question how to plant Berodual for inhalations with saline solution. Usually the amount of the latter is 3-4 ml.
3. When a child of older age falls ill (from 12 years), the dose of medication with moderate bronchospasm and mild attacks of bronchial asthma remains the same as in the case indicated above. But when a small patient starts to choke, and bronchospasm reaches its critical point, children usually increase the dosage of Berodual and saline for inhalation. For the drug, it is 2.5-4 ml (50-80 drops), which are diluted in 4 ml of saline and poured into a nebulizer.
4. It is necessary to remember the peculiarities of this procedure. The instruction on how to effectively do inhalation with Berodual and saline is very simple. To do this, use a nebulizer and completely consume the poured solution. Also, the latter should always be freshly prepared, and distilled water should not be used for breeding Beroduala.
