nebulizer method to use mouth or nose

[reldong2]

Would it be better to breath in nebulizer thur your nose. After all the breathing practice thur the nose.????? It gets you back breathing thur your mouth again.????

Use your nebuliser through your mouth generally. If you have a mask type of attachment then it will go through your nose too I would imagine.

Pete just uses a mouthpiece as that’s what he prefers.

Hope you work something out. Xxxxxx

I use a mask mostly, so that my hypertonic saline reaches sinus as well as lungs, I just prefer this myself.

I dont use a nebulizer at home but the 2 times I was in hospital I found the mouthpiece better than using the mask.

I’ve just started using one with Saline (only used it twice so far) and use it with a mouth mask 😊

I would only use a mask myself if my sinuses were problematic. I don’t like using a mask as I find the mist escapes to my eyes and they are limiting. I find I can do other things easier using a mouthpiece and find it much more comfortable. Try both and see what works best for you.

To be awkward, I use mouth piece with my portable and mask with my big plug in nebuliser.......but I only use that very very rarely now.

I have raised eye pressure, and I was advised either to shut my eyes or use protective glasses when using the mask, to prevent the mist getting in my eyes .

I try and mouth breathe normally, but it doesn’t take much time to use a mouth piece .
