A member asked:

Inhaler vapor sometimes reaches my daughter's eyes when using mask. she's an infant. also, is the pacifier adapter good for pulmicort nebulizer?

Nebulizer: Be sure the mask fits properly. Some mist will escape and it will not hurt her.

Check the fit: Some leaking of mist around the nebilizer mask is normal, and for the most part produces no health risk. Most children will close their eyes as a normal response if the mist is irritating. Consider using a different sized mask to reduce leakage. The pacifier adapter is useful for those who do not tolerate a mask, but does not deliver the medication as effectively.
