[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inhalers are more effective than nebs but they have to be inhaled correctly and kids don't always do it correctly. Make sense?[/quote] Exactly this. I went on a new daily inhaler, and the doctors gave me, a smart 36yo woman, a spacer because they're more reliable that way, regardless of age. [/quote] We've gone back and forth on this topic with our pediatrician and pulmonologist. Pediatrician insists that inhaler/spacer is better. Pulmonologist insists nebulizer is better. Over the winter, DS (age 12) was having an asthma attack for which he ended up having to go to the hospital. In practice, inhaler/spacer was less effective than nebulizer. There's a reason that hospitals nebulize kids when they come in and are in trouble vs using an inhaler.[/quote]
