Instructions
Step 1
If your baby suffers from allergies, then choose the drug for the inhalation procedure with great care. Do not inhale if your baby's body temperature is over 37 ° C. For those children who have nosebleeds, inhalation is generally contraindicated. You can not do inhalation even if your child has diseases associated with respiratory or heart failure. Before starting the procedures, be sure to consult your pediatrician.
Step 2
It is quite difficult for babies who have not yet turned one year old to inhale in the usual “old-fashioned” way, because they cannot be forced to breathe “through a tube”. For such small children, it is better to use a special inhaler - a nebulizer.
Step 3
You can safely use a soda solution for the procedure, this is the most harmless inhalation that is suitable for babies. Take ten grams of baking soda and dissolve them in five hundred milliliters of water. If desired, soda can be replaced with mineral alkaline water. With the help of such inhalation, a dry cough will become more productive and the mucous membranes of the respiratory system will soften.
Step 4
With the help of inhalation with chamomile, you can relieve the baby from inflammation and destroy pathogenic microbes. Inhalations with chamomile are carried out with inflammation in the bronchi, lungs and ENT organs. To prepare the solution, take fifteen grams of chamomile and brew it in a glass of boiling water. Then steam this solution for thirty minutes, dilute with another half liter of boiling water, then let the solution cool.
Step 5
In the treatment of bronchitis, inhalations with alcoholic tinctures of eucalyptus or calendula are very helpful. These tinctures are available at almost any pharmacy. Take 25 ml of water and add 22 drops of the tincture.
Step 6
Inhale the baby as carefully as possible, especially when you dilute the already cooled solution with boiling water. It is much safer to purchase a modern inhalation device for these purposes.
