If you're about to turn on the nebulizer, wait just a moment. There are some things you need to learn to do first, like breathing through your mouth if you have bronchitis, for example, as well as some you must absolutely avoid, like sterilizing plastic ampoules in boiling water.

Sinusitis, rhinitis, sore throat, laryngitis and ear infections: five different names to describe inflammation of your airways. What's the remedy?

We all know that we need to take good care of our airways, but what's the best thing to use? Let's find out together what choices there are, based on the condition: from nasal rinsing to guard against colds, nasal washing for rhinitis, to nebulizing for more serious inflammation and asthma.

You heard right: nebulizing is the right, although not the only, solution for treating allergic forms of asthma or lung infections, especially if your child suffers from these conditions. Let's find out which drugs are recommended for treating them.

Interesting fact: there are over 200 cold viruses that are constantly mutating. They're like an army of pathogens that take advantage of weakened immune systems.

Allergy is an abnormal reaction by the body when it's been exposed to certain substances, either by inhaling or swallowing, injection or touch. It results in an excessive production of antibodies and various symptoms, both respiratory or of the skin. Allergies are becoming increasingly common and can start at any age, as well as often being hereditary.
