| Video Discription | There are many treatment options for children with asthma, largely depending on the age and preference of the child. Metered dose inhalers, which are also commonly called puffers or inhalers, spray the medicine out so that you can breathe it deep into the lungs. Inhalers deliver medicine very quickly and are compact and light so they can easily be taken with you wherever you go. It's very important to use your inhaler the correct way to make sure the medicine gets deposited in the lungs, where it works the best. Incorrect technique can leave some of the particles from the medicine on your tongue or throat, where it won't help at all. A spacer, or holding chamber, is an attachment that should always be used with your inhaler. The spacer holds the medicine in place so you can breathe it in easier. Spacers with a mask on one end are used for smaller kids and babies. First, remove the cap from the bottom of your inhaler. When you get your new inhaler from the pharmacy, you need to "prime" or "waste" it by spraying the medicine into the air four times. Now, fit your inhaler into the opening at the end of the spacer. Shake the inhaler well for 10 seconds. Place mask tightly over the nose and mouth, then push down on the inhaler once. Now the medicine is inside the spacer. Breathe in and out six times through the mask. Rinse your mouth out with water or brush your teeth after using controller medicines such as inhaled steroids. Many times, the correct dose of your medicine will be to inhale two puffs. If this is what is prescribed for you, then wait one minute after the first puff, and then follow all of the steps again Clean the plastic holder of the inhaler each week. Clean the spacer and mask each week by soaking in warm soapy water for 15 minutes and run water through it, shake off water and set overnight to dry. Remember if you have questions, call your doctor's office, asthma care team or pharmacy.
