Nebulization is a respiratory therapy that converts liquid medication into an inhalable aerosol, allowing it to reach the airways more effectively than oral medications. It is especially useful for individuals experiencing asthma flare-ups, acute wheezing, chronic airway inflammation, or persistent cough that requires immediate relief and targeted bronchial treatment.

At Dr. Ashwini’s Scans and Labs, nebulization is administered using medical-grade devices that produce consistent particle size for optimal lung penetration and therapeutic effect. The treatment is supervised by trained respiratory care staff who ensure correct medication dosage, proper breathing technique, and comfortable administration throughout the session. Medications may include bronchodilators to open airways, anti-inflammatory corticosteroids to reduce swelling, or mucolytics to thin secretions depending on the patient’s clinical needs and diagnosis.

This therapy proves particularly beneficial for young children who cannot coordinate inhaler use, older adults with limited lung capacity, and individuals who struggle with metered-dose inhalers or need rapid symptom control during acute episodes. Nebulization can ease breathing difficulty, reduce airway swelling and bronchospasm, loosen thick mucus secretions, and improve oxygen flow within minutes of starting treatment.

The procedure typically lasts 10 to 15 minutes and can be repeated as medically indicated for severe cases. Patients experience relief without systemic side effects since medication acts directly on lung tissue. Post-treatment monitoring ensures symptom improvement and identifies any need for additional respiratory support or emergency intervention.

With a focus on clinical safety, patient comfort, and evidence-based protocols, Dr. Ashwini’s Scans and Labs provides reliable nebulization services that support faster recovery from acute respiratory distress and ongoing management of chronic airway conditions like asthma and COPD.
