Is nebulization effective for cough due to bronchitis in children?

Nebulized therapy for cough in children with bronchitis can be effective under specific circumstances. 1. The primary benefit of nebulized therapy is in the treatment of bronchial asthma, where it helps dilate the bronchi, relieve wheezing symptoms, and prevent recurrent asthma attacks. It is particularly effective for cough caused by bronchospasm. 2. Nebulized inhalation allows medication to act directly on the affected area, offering advantages such as rapid onset, fewer adverse reactions, and clear therapeutic effects. For pediatric patients with bronchitis, nebulized therapy achieves high local drug concentrations in the respiratory tract, helping reduce inflammation, suppress cough, liquefy sputum, relieve spasms, and humidify the airways. However, nebulized therapy is not suitable for all types of cough. If the cough is caused by a common cold or bronchitis without bronchospasm, the effectiveness of nebulization may be limited.
