Nebulizer Use

    Looking for some advice on the use of nebulizers and inhalers by kids. Would you trust your own child to use a nebulizer themselves? I was looking into buying an emergency nebulizer that could be brought to school for quick use but alot of people thought that trusting a child (4-5years+) with administering medication would be crazy. If you have any thoughts it would be of much help.

    Thanks :)

    Only ok if there is a teacher/adult there to administer dose and supervise taking of it!

    Might be worth a chat with school nurse if there is one to see if they could be any help?
    what about starting letting them use the nebuliser at home with your supervision/ help and see how they get on? if they already do that well id' be more inclinded to be confident they could possibly do it in school.
    id be nervous that a crowd of kids and a possibly nervous teacher would put them off though and lead to mistakes
