Can Nebulizer Treat Sinusitis ?

My nine year old has chronic sinusitis (found through a scan). He has a terrible cough. So far I agree with everything his allergist is doing. He takes medicine and started shots for allergies. But she prescribed a nebulizer with the medicines Xopenex and Pulmicort. He doesn t have asthma and I can t find anything online where sinusitis and breathing treatments are linked. I think it was only prescribed because it has been tough to get his cough under control. Will a nebulizer really help?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

A nasal nebulizer is a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment tool for sinusitis or sinus infections.
It is a device that turns liquid into a fine mist or vapor for the patient to breathe in.
The medication is transformed into very small particles that can easily enter the nose and sinuses.
So, the nebulizer is very effective to treat sinusitis.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
