        "summary": "A paediatric respirologist has clarified that nebulisation therapy is not necessary for all types of coughs in children. Dr. Wahyuni Indawati from Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital explained that the treatment is specifically intended for conditions like cough variant asthma or chronic recurrent cough, rather than common colds. She advised parents to consult a doctor before administering inhalation therapy to ensure it is medically appropriate.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Paediatric respirologist Dr.\u00a0Wahyuni Indawati,\nSp.A, Subsp. Respi (K) has reminded the public that not all coughs\nrequire nebulisation or inhalation therapy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoes every child with a cough need to be nebulised? The answer is\nactually no. It depends on the cause of the cough,\u201d said Dr.\u00a0Wahyuni,\nwho practices at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), during an OMRON\nevent in Jakarta on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Nebulisation or inhalation therapy, she explained, is a method of\ndelivering medication directly to the target organ, which is the\nrespiratory system, and the medicine must be inhaled.<\/p>\n<p>Wahyuni stated that nebulisation is necessary for conditions such as\ncough variant asthma, a type of asthma in children where the main\nsymptom is a cough. It is also required for chronic recurrent cough, as\ndefined by the Indonesian Paediatric Society (IDAI).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, if it is just a common cold with a cough, does not occur\nfrequently, and resolves in less than ten days, it is actually just a\nregular respiratory infection and does not require special therapy with\ncontinuous inhalation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She emphasised that parents should consult a doctor to determine the\nappropriate treatment. \u201cSo, can I do the therapy myself? We actually\nrecommend consulting a doctor first,\u201d Wahyuni concluded.<\/p>",
