Ideally, you should wait two hours after eating before using a nebulizer.
The timing of nebulizer treatments can affect their effectiveness and your comfort. Here's a breakdown:
- Why waiting is recommended: Using a nebulizer immediately after eating can increase the risk of vomiting.
- Ideal timing: According to recommendations, nebulizer therapy should ideally be administered:
- Half an hour before meals.
- Two hours after meals.
- Before bedtime.
- Empty stomach: It's generally advised to use a nebulizer on an empty stomach to minimize the likelihood of nausea or vomiting (reference information provided states this recommendation).
