We’ve been living with our trusty nebulizer ever since the little man was diagnosed with asthma in 2011. Although it is bulky and noisy {Jared used to dread its buzzing sound when he was little and would always wake him up even in the wee hours of the morning}, I am thankful that we have one at home, especially after our scary asthma episode when he was just 3 years old. Even now that my son no longer gets attacks, it gives me peace of mind to know that we have a nebulizer handy in case we might need one.
We know that most nebulizers existing in the market now are bulky, big, and noisy, so when I was invited to an event that will showcase the smallest and lightest tabletop nebulizer, manufactured by a trusted brand, Omron, I knew I had to see it for myself.
#BreatheEasy With Omron Event
The Breathe Easy With Omron event was hosted by Omron, a global brand founded in 1933 and a leader in advanced automation, Sensing and Control Technology, and home healthcare. It was held at Stacy’s in Bonifacio Global City.
The event started with a presentation from Dr. Anjanette De Leon, MD, about the usual causes of asthma and other respiratory diseases along with the ways these conditions can be managed.
Asthma in children can begin at any age, with most children starting to show symptoms before they reach the age of 5. The airways of the lungs become irritated and swollen during an attack, making it difficult to breathe. Asthma, in fact, is the most common chronic respiratory ailment in infants and children, which also makes it the leading cause of pedia visits and hospitalizations.
