As the coronavirus continues to spread across the globe and increasingly in the US, this article will help guide you through this stressful time. The novel coronavirus now estimates over 69,000 cases alone in the US and over 500,000 cases worldwide with an estimate of over 22,000 deaths. Although there is currently no vaccine to treat the virus, there are several preventative measures you should be taking at this very moment.


According to the CDC, the virus is spread from person-to-person through respiratory droplets. It is important to practice social distancing and remaining 6 feet away from an individual. Simple measures to take at this time are to wash your hands often, use hand sanitizer, and avoid touching your nose, mouth, and eyes with unwashed hands.If you are feeling sick, it is best to remain inside, isolated, and wear a mask. Cover any coughs or sneezes. Keep your household clean by disinfecting daily. You can find a variety of disinfecting solutions you can make at home with bleach or alcohol.

Stress and anxiety are on the rise during this time. It is important to find healthy distractions such as taking time away from reading or listening to updates on the coronavirus. Take deep breaths, meditate, and eat well balanced meals. Keeping your body free of stress is extremely important during this time.If you are feeling sick you may want to call your local healthcare provider to seek help.

How You Can Choose the Best Nebulizer for You

3/1/2020

0 Comments

 

When it comes to nebulizers, your doctor or medical professional may have a few suggestions that can still leave you unsure or confused. While there are a wide range of nebulizers to explore, multiple factors come into play when choosing the right nebulizer for you or your loved one.

​

Nebulizers for Babies and Children

If you are a parent and needing to find a great nebulizer for your baby or child, you’ll want to find a nebulizer machine that offers a quiet, smooth mist. This way the baby or child will not be disturbed and can easily inhale the medicine needed to help them breathe better. Additionally, there are plenty of pet-themed or kid-friendly nebulizer designs to choose from such as a dog nebulizer, dinosaurs, penguins, fishes, and more.

Nebulizers for Upper Airway Diseases

Depending on your condition, you’ll want to ensure you choose the correct particle size needed. When treated for upper airway diseases, you’ll find that “larger medicine particles are deposited” such as with rhinitis and sinusitis. Always check for the correct particle size when choosing the right nebulizer.
​

Nebulizers for Lower Airway Diseases

If you are dealing with lower airway diseases such as asthma, COPD, or bronchitis you will want to look for a nebulizer with smaller medicine particles. Additionally, these more severe breathing diseases require a higher level of nebulization simply because “they deliver higher levels of nebulized active ingredient”.

Summary

When it comes to finding the right nebulizer you will want to find out if you are dealing with the upper airway or lower airway, whether it is for a baby, child, or adult, the sound levels, and what type of technology is used such as a mesh or compressor.


If you are still unsure about which nebulizer is right for you, simply give Rice Village Medical Supply  a call and we can help discuss your options.
