Inhalation Therapies in Pediatric Pulmonology

Inhalation therapies in pediatric pulmonology refer to treatments that deliver medication directly to the lungs using inhalers or nebulizers. These therapies are commonly used for children with respiratory conditions like asthma or chronic lung disease. By inhaling medication, such as bronchodilators or steroids, children can benefit from quicker relief of symptoms like wheezing or difficulty breathing. This method enhances medication effectiveness by targeting the lungs directly, allowing for lower doses and fewer side effects compared to oral medications. Inhalation therapies are essential tools for managing respiratory health in children.
