Hello Mr Aero Chamber..

Dillion first started using Aero Chamber when he was 2 year old in year 2009. Because of his frequent coughing thus his PD advised to use this clear his airways.  He used it as and when prescribed for about a year till his condition got better after he turned 3 year old


 

After keeping the inhaler for 2 years, it had to make its appearance once again for Damien.

We will usually practice self-medication at home first as we had a whole shelf of medication since the 2 Boys are prone to cough/cold. However this time round, being an experienced Mother now, I could proabably differeniate type of cough that warrant an immediate visit to the PD.

And I was so so right! This time round, his cough sounded chesty with lots of phelgm stuck inside.. and bingo.. She agreed and instructed that he be on inhaler for at least a week!

First moment, my thoughts were that Damien being a difficult child would not sit still and let me puff. Thankfully, Dillion could help me to do a demo and Damien accepted it without any struggle!

My own way of getting the Boys to 'enjoy' the process is to let them 'sing into the chamber'. It worked pretty well on them!
