A member asked:
When is breathing treatment necessary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recommendations: Breathing treatments can be given with intractable wheezing. They can also be used in older patients who have poor hand eye coordination and cannot manage their handheld inhalers. They are not usually more effective than metered dose inhalers (mdis).
