My son is 19 months old and needs to use an inhaler (albuterol and Flovent) several times a day. He has the optichamber/mask contraption, but doesn't really inhale the way he should. It was a long struggle to get him to accept using it (initially it took my husband and me to hold him down) and now he'll tolerate the mask on, but only for a few seconds and certainly doesn't take the required 8 breaths each puff.
Is there any way to teach him how to use it properly or is this something that we'll just keep having to do and he'll eventually learn on his own?
