Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Asthalin usually refers to ipratropium bromide. A baby's cough may be caused by respiratory tract infections, allergies, airway foreign bodies, or other reasons. Nebulization therapy is an effective treatment method that allows medication to act directly on the respiratory tract, alleviating cough symptoms. Ipratropium bromide is a commonly used nebulization medication that helps relax bronchial smooth muscle.
If the baby's cough is caused by a respiratory infection, in addition to ipratropium bromide, other medications might be needed depending on the condition. If wheezing is present, salbutamol nebulization solution can be added, as it can rapidly dilate the bronchi and relieve wheezing symptoms.
If thick mucus makes coughing difficult, acetylcysteine nebulization solution can be used, as it helps thin the mucus, making it easier to expel.
The dosage of nebulization medications should be adjusted according to the baby's age, weight, and other factors, and must be conducted under a doctor's guidance.
