Inhaler Updates: As flu season approaches, make sure your child has all of his/her asthma medications. Pediatric Associates has been using inhalers with spacers in order to administer albuterol treatments to certain patients. Studies have shown that using an inhaler is just as effective as using the nebulizer. However, by using an inhaler, parents save significant time when giving their child respiratory medication. Children also prefer the inhaler because it is quicker and less stressful than sitting 15 minutes with a nebulizer. For additional information, please contact your provider at Pediatric Associates.
