Nebulizers use a compressor and pump to deliver a fine mist of medication into your lungs, through either a mask that fits snugly over your nose and mouth or a tube through which you breathe.
They are made for people who can't use an inhaler, including young children and people who are very ill. Delivery of quick-relief medicines through nebulizers is also often used to help stop severe asthma attacks in adults and older children.
Nebulizers are not for everyone. They can be expensive, time-consuming, and bulky. However, some nebulizers on the market are small, portable devices, either with battery packs or adapters so they can be used in cars.
For best results with a nebulizer, carefully follow the instructions that came with your specific model.
