Is it true that nebulization is used to treat pneumonia

Nebulization can be used for the treatment of pneumonia, and it is a topical medication, resulting in few side effects.

There are basically three types of drugs used for nebulization treatment of pneumonia, cough and phlegm drugs, glucocorticoids, and antibiotics, but antibiotics are rarely used at present.

Nebulized inhalation of cough and phlegm drugs, such as chymotrypsin, ambroxol hydrochloride, etc., can dilute sputum, promote the cilia swing on the bronchial mucosa, and finally achieve the discharge of sputum, which plays a role in the treatment of pneumonia.However, some patients may have symptoms such as malignant vomiting and vision loss, and the drug should be stopped immediately and actively treated.

Nebulized inhaled corticosteroids, such as dexamethasone, can play an anti-inflammatory role and reduce airway inflammation. However, long-term use of such drugs in large quantities can lead to symptoms such as moon face, buffalo back, etc., and may lead to fungal infections.

Generally, nebulized inhaled antibiotics are rarely used in clinical practice, and only when necessary, inhaled gentamicin can play an anti-infective role.

Therefore, for the nebulization treatment of pneumonia, it is necessary to analyze the specific condition according to the condition, and the treatment plan must be selected under the advice of the doctor. The above drugs should be standardized and rationally used under the guidance of professional physicians and pharmacists.
