Hello doctor,

I am a 29-year-old woman. I have had asthma for 12 years. I get exacerbations due to cold temperatures. The temperatures have started to drop at the place I currently stay, and I am scared that I might have an unexpected episode. Also, I have left my nebulizer at my parents' place and am planning to buy a new one. Can you recommend me the latest and best one?

Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your question.

I understand your concern and would be happy to help. You can prefer a mesh nebulizer or an ultrasonic nebulizer; however, the ultrasonic type is the best.

I hope this helps.

Kindly get back in case of further questions.

I wish you good health.

Thank you.
