While older children and teens can simply use a nebulizer with a regular mouthpiece, younger infants, toddlers, and preschoolers usually require a mask that fits over their mouth and nose to get an effective treatment.
Be sure you remember to clean your nebulizer, following the manufacturer's instructions, after you use it.
