We still need to give Alli nebulizer treatments twice a day or as needed up to every 4 hours, but she gets so upset by having to get them with a face mask that she actually gets worse and makes herself sick from crying and fighting against it!

I don't know if this will help, but my 2 year old niece requires nebulizer treatments. She hates to have the face mask on, so my sister just waves the tubing in front of her nose and mouth. She doesn't fight it this way. Just a thought. Good luck!
