Is it worth it to do inhalation at a temperature

One of the most effective methods of treating diseases of the respiratory system and catarrhal diseases are inhalations, that is inhalation of certain medications. With the help of inhalation, you can treat the common cold, bronchitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, etc. Inhalation is used in the form of aerosols or vapor, so as the medicinal substances contained in the inhaler touch the largest area of the mucous membranes, the airways, rather absorbed directly into the blood, Act faster.

Should I do inhalation at a temperature above 38 degrees? Doctors do not recommend, because under the influence of a very hot steam the temperature can rise even more. You can do the procedure if you have a temperature dropped to at least 37.5 degrees. If you have a special device-inhaler, the steam will act only locally, on the throat and nose. In this case, the effect of hot steam on the body as a whole will be less.

Also, inhalation can not be carried out with nasal bleeding, with respiratory and cardiovascular insufficiency. Therefore, it is up to your physician to decide whether to do this procedure at a temperature.

To use only inhalations, it should be done two hours after eating, concentrate on the procedure, nothing should be distracted. Inhale the drug during inhalation without tension through the nose or mouth, and depending on the disease. Within an hour after the procedure, you should not take food and strain yourself with long conversations or singing.

Doctors say that a nebulizer can be inhaled at a temperature, but steam inhalation at a temperature should not be done, since there is no hot steam in the nebulizer, and the mist is a kind of aerosol cloud that consists of microparticles of the solution.

It should be taken into account only that today there are nebulizers with heating that combine the advantages of steam and ultrasonic spraying, such inhalers should not be used at elevated temperature. With regard to the composition of inhalations - it can be used fiz.stvorr, mineral water, you can use sage or chamomile. The main thing in the procedure with a dry cough is the moistening of the respiratory system. It is not recommended to use essential oils, as they can often intensify a dry cough. When deciding whether to do inhalation with a nebulizer at temperature or with the help of steam, talk to the doctor. If you do not have an inhaler, then you can do steam inhalation. It is necessary for this to take an ordinary teapot, which closes the lid tightly. On the tip of the kettle it is necessary to put on a rubber tube, and on the other end of it, attach a funnel made of plastic, through which the vapors begin to exit.

Reduce the heat so that the water boils moderately, perform a similar inhalation before going to bed in the evening or the day when you do not have to, then go out into the street, because in the cold air the entire effect of the procedure disappears.

Be extremely careful when carrying out steam inhalation in children! Please note that children are categorically prohibited from inhaling with continuously boiling water! Frequent steam burns of the upper respiratory tract in children as a result of such procedures. Children are more suitable for warm procedures (up to 40 degrees). Whether it is necessary to do inhalations at temperature to the child, you should tell or say the pediatrist. To prepare such an inhalation, it is necessary to pour water of the required temperature into a teapot with a rather narrow nose, a funnel made of cardboard is put on it (the younger the child, the greater the distance to boiling water). Duration of inhalation for a child - about three minutes, do advise them 2 times a day.
