Portable nebuliser advice

[Tinker26]

Can any of you lovely people advise me on the best mini portable nebuliser that I could take on holiday ,I use hypertonic saline for Bronchiectasis.I have just renewed my annual nebuliser and had an omron neb but have been given a Phillips portaneb which is rather large until new supplies are in ,I go away in 3 weeks time thanking you in advance.

(Mesh) brand nebulizer works great, it work on 2 double A batteries or usb cord and does saline in about 4 or 5 min.

They usually cost around $89. but I found mine on a facebook add for $39. and ordered a sturdier mask through Amazon.

How do you get a nebuliser? I have asked for one and I have been advised it requires a Pulmonologist and mine won't. The reason for asking for one, is once I have a flare-up I use a lot of Ventolin typically over a few days or weeks.

I was having frequent infections 9 a year and had traces of pseudomonas and 2 other bugs in my lungs ,was hospitalised and given 2 weeks iv drugs ,touchwood after being given prophylactic azithromycin and the nebuliser I have not had a chest infection since January ,I asked my consultant could I try a nebuliser and the answer was yes x

Usually through your respiratory consultant.

You can buy the device online but the ventolin meds required to use it have to be prescribed.

Not all Doc's are happy with their patients nebulising at home incase it reduces the possibility of seeking medical help in severe attack.

Best of luck

Thankyou but I already use an electric nebuliser but the hospital have given me a rather large replacement as I have to have it serviced once a year ,they have taken my small one and given me one the size of a large handbag until supplies are in !
