Inhalations with dioxidine for children

In some cases, inhalations are the only effective way to treat certain diseases. They are appointed only when the baby is two years old. At an earlier age, the danger of getting burns is very high. Even if you have replaced your steam inhaler with a modern nebulizer for a long time, a small child can not properly inhale the particles of drugs produced by the device. That is why it is extremely important to take into account the age of a small patient before making inhalations.
