AeroChamber Valved Holding Chamber With Mask

This is the applicator with mask for the Ventolin inhaler for Baby to clear her chest of the phlegm.  This applicator and Ventolin cost almost RM200. This gadget looked really complicated and I had to study the instructions and the gadget for almost 15 minutes before I knew how to use it. Though the pharmacist had demonstrated once to me, I wanted to be doubly sure that I used it correctly. Spraying meds into a baby’s nose and mouse, which eventually gets into her lungs is no playing matter right? The first time I used it, I think I didn’t administer the Ventolin quite right.  The mask was supposed to stay longer on Baby’s face but I removed it after a few seconds as Baby was struggling.   Baby still hates this gadget and would struggle the moment she sees it.

    Wah, RM 200 for ventolin and the aerochamber…hope Baby C is not asthmatic, and this only a short-term thing.

    Hi,
    Been reading your blog everyday for the past year. Very interesting, and entertaining as well.
    Anyway, my baby too has a chest of phlegm and the doc has also recommended the aero chamber. Not sure if it is good. Has Baby C recovered? and how is she responding to the aerochamber?

    Lilian… yes Baby has recovered. She was only on that Aero Chamber for about 3 days. I stopped giving her that as I didnt want too much meds in her body system. I think breastmilk and Nutrifresh helped her with a speedy recovery.
