[blparent] Using a Nebulizer

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

Time is one way but you will also hear and feel it. If you have doubts, run it for the 20 minutes required and then shake the thing you put the medicine into. It should sound empty.
This is a good chance to watch tv with your kid, there's not much else you can do and it is like watching paint dry for both of you.

Subject: [blparent] Using a Nebulizer

My four-year-old daughter has just been diagnosed with asthma.  I need to start using a nebulizer with her.  I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with a niew piece of equipment.  The doses of the medicine are premeasured, so that’s not a worry.  But how will I know when all of the medicine has been inhaled and the bottle is empty?  Will I just need to go by the time?

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
